China imposes retaliatory tariffs on 128 US imports

Russia expels 150 Western diplomats

The White House did not respond immediately to news of Russia's decision to expel 60 US diplomats on Thursday, in a tit-for-tat which has seen relations between the two countries paralyzed.

Russia says it will close the American consulate in St Petersburg in a move that mirrors Washington's decision to shut down the Russian consulate in Seattle, because of its proximity to a submarine base.

President Trump addressed supporters at a rally in Ohio as news of the expulsions broke, but focused instead on domestic issues- despite the deepening diplomatic crisis with Moscow.
