Russian president Vladimir Putin has decided not to
retaliate against the US for expelling 35 Russian diplomats and imposing
sanctions on two of the country's intelligence agencies on Thursday. He
made this statement after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the
country planned to expel 35 U.S. diplomatic staff from Moscow and close two
facilities used by the U.S. embassy in Russia.
The RIA news agency quoted Putin as saying
that he would consider the actions of President-elect Donald Trump, who
takes office next month, when deciding on further steps in Russia-U.S.
relations. A move President-elect Trump approved.
He then tweeted later in the day mocking CNN and NBC News.
