US asks 24 Russian diplomats to leave country
August 4, 2021
MOSCOW: Russia s ambassador to the United States said Washington had asked 24 Russian diplomats to leave the country by September 3 after their visas expire, heightening tensions between the two countries, a British wire service reported.
In an interview with the National Interest magazine published here, Ambassador Anatoly Antonov did not say whether the US action was prompted by a particular dispute. He said nearly all would be leaving without replacements because Washington has abruptly tightened visa issuing procedures.
US State Department spokesperson Ned Price, responding to the comments, said on Monday that Washington was not using Russian diplomats visas to retaliate against Moscow. He said the ambassador s characterisation was not accurate.
