Fourteen
European Union countries on Monday expelled Russian diplomats, a top
official said, after the bloc last week sided with Britain in blaming
Moscow over the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
"Already
today, fourteen member states have decided to expel Russian diplomats,"
Tusk told a news conference in the Black Sea city of Varna.
"Additional
measures, including further sanctions within the common EU framework,
cannot be excluded in the coming days and weeks," he said.
This
came as President Donald Trump reportedly ordered the expulsion of 60
Russians from the United States and the closure of the Russian consulate
in Seattle.
