Trump is going to expel Russians because of Skripal

US President Donald Trump is preparing the expulsion of dozens of Russian diplomats in response to the attack on former Russian double-spy Sergei Skripal in Britain.

Trump would have adopted recommendations from advisers to expel the Russians. He will announce the expulsions on Monday. The possible action of Trump follows the recent release by Britain of 23 Russian diplomats. Moscow responded by sending out the same number of Britons.

Skripal and his daughter Yulia were discovered on 4 March in unconscious state in Salisbury, England. They were poisoned with nerve gas and are in the hospital. Russia denies any involvement.
