Expulsions of our envoys won\u2019t go unanswered, warns Russian officials.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sixty Russian envoys were expelled from the US on Monday in response to claims that Russia poisoned a former Russian spy living in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, said the US \u201conly understands force.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned in my statement in the State Department that I consider these actions counterproductive,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cI said that the United States took a very bad step by cutting what very little still remains in terms of Russian-American relations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The expulsion, signed by President Trump, also closed down the Russian consulate in Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, the New York Times<\/a> pointed out that Trump \u201chas been criticized for not being firm enough with President Putin,\u201d yet so far Trump has been tougher on Russia than his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose presidency took place during Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea and the aftermath of the Russo-Georgian War.<\/span><\/p>\n
