The last US diplomatic staff vehicle left the US embassy’s summer houses in Serebryany Bor on the outskirts of Moscow, Tuesday, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s order to halt the American diplomats’ usage of the summer houses and cut 755 staff from the country.
The Russian leader’s order comes in retaliation to a new US economic sanctions bill against Russia which was approved last week. US President Donald Trump must first sign off on the bill before it is fully implemented.
