Security. The answer . Is kim jong un in china . Welcome to early start. That would be the first time he left north korea since his father died. Im christine romans. It is 4 00 a. M. In the east. 11 00 a. M. In the moscow. 4 00 p. M. In beijing. 60 Russian Diplomats have one week to pack up and leave the United States. President trump ordering this as part of the effort with european and other allies. The move is a response to the poisoning in the uk of the russian double agent and his daughter. More than 100 Russian Diplomats e exspelled worldwide. This is the president s forceful action against russia so far. Although not related to election meddling. This announcement came from the press secretary and not the president. The white house said this. The United States has issued sanctions on key russian oligarchs in response to the meddling. I would not close any doors or preclude any potential action. The president doesnt telegraph his moves. One person even has been sanctioned by the u. S. This is the largest expulsion of intelligence officers. The john bolton and Mike Pompeo John Bolton and mike pompeo have called for tougher sanctions against russia. And the Russian Embassy in washington sending a tweet asking followers which u. S. Consulate think would like to see shut. For more on what the russians have in store, we go to moscow and bring in cnns phil black. Good morning, phil. Reporter dave, yes. Russia will respond and retaliate. It will be president putins decision on the retaliation. The words of the spokesman is it res recip reciprocating. Russia hasnt played it that way in all of the disputes. In the final days of the obama administration, part of the response for the alleged meddling, russia responded not by expelling diplomats, but they must cut down the staff in the country by 755 people. That is a long way from one for one. Whatever the russian response, there is no reason to believe it is anything less than robust. They are sticking to their line saying they have been unaccused unfairly of foul deeds. Britain has not provided evidence. Now it is up to the allies to kick russia as well. What we are looking for is whether or not russia retaliates this further or draws a line under this establishing what we know to be true. That is relations with russia and the west are very poor. Dave, back to you. We await a response. Phil, thank you. In the move with the wide ranging consequences, the Commerce Department says the u. S.

That could slow growth and could hurt big u. S. Companies. Starbucks, boeing and apple and intel relies on the sales. The tariffs look like a trading tactic . A negotiating tactic. Recent history shows his bark is worse than his bite. The tariffs on steel and aluminum. The final product was watered down with exemptions to canada and south korea. The fallout is fascinating.
