Russia Mulls Firing 30 US Diplomats, Freezing US Property

Alwaght- Russia is weighing up expelling some 30 American diplomats and seizing US state property in retaliation for Washington's sanctions, Russian media reported on Tuesday.

Russian daily Izvestia cited sources in the country's foreign ministryas saying that the potential move will be over failure to reach an agreement on two Russian diplomatic compounds in the US seized by the outgoing Obama administration in December last year.

In December 2016 the Obama administration expelled 35 Russian diplomats and shut down two diplomatic compounds belonging to Moscow.

“There is a preliminary agreement on holding a meeting between Russian Deputy Prime Minister Sergey Ryabkov and US Under Secretary of State Thomas Shannon in St. Petersburg. If the compromise is not found there, we will have to take such measures,” a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry told the Izvestiya newspaper.

Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the issue of the Obama sanctions with US President Donald Trump when they met in Hamburg on 7 July, Izvestia reported.
