Vladimir Putin expels 755 US diplomats from Russia in tit-for-tat move
Russia has retaliated against new US sanctions by ordering 755 American diplomats to leave - a move that will create a fresh crisis in the relationship between the two countries.
Days after the both houses of the US Congress voted almost unanimously to impose fresh sanctions on Moscow, Vladimir Putin said he was responding to “unlawful” behaviour by Washington.

This situation comes at a bad time for Trump. After some six months in power, he can claim no big legislative victory. In contrast, after six months into their first terms, Barack Obama had launched an $800bn economic stimulus programme and George W Bush $1.4tn-worth of tax cuts. |
I wonder if Trump will tweet about the Russian expulsions?
