The United States said Friday it was expelling two Russian diplomats, a retaliatory step after Moscow kicked out two Americans last month.
"In response to the Russian Federation's specious expulsion of two US embassy Moscow diplomats, the State Department reciprocated by declaring persona non grata two Russian embassy officials operating in the United States," a State Department spokesperson said.
