US move is its 'largest single expulsion' of Russians: official

Donald Trump's decision to expel 60 alleged "spies" is the largest ever mass expulsion of Russian or Soviet officials from the United States, a senior administration official said today.

"This is the largest single expulsion of Russians," including Soviet officials, the source told AFP, underscoring the significance of the US response to the Kremlin's alleged poisoning of a former spy in England.
