Sarah Huckabee Sanders: U.S. will 'deal with' Russia shutting down consulate

Putin has shut down the U.S. Consulate in Russia in response to the United States supporting Great Britain's decision to close following fallout from Russians allegedly poisoning spies from Great Britain. Trump just congratulated Vladmir Putin on being re-elected last week. Trump then shut down the Russian installation in Seattle, WA. This tit-for-tat action signals diplomatic relations are fizzling between the two frenemies. In the following statementRussia’s action to expel American diplomats marks a further deterioration in the United States-Russia relationship. The expulsion of undeclared Russian intelligence officers by the United States and more than two dozen partner nations and NATO allies earlier this week was an appropriate response to the Russian attack on the soil of the United Kingdom. Russia’s response was not unanticipated, and the United States will deal with it.
