US State Department Declared as "Persona Non Grata" 35 Russian Diplomats

Obama informed the State Department declared as "persona non grata" 35 Russian diplomats  and was closing the two Russian compounds, Reuters reports.

The 45-acre complex in Maryland includes a Georgian-style brick mansion, swimming pool, tennis courts and cottages for embassy staff.

According to the source the expulsions would come from the Russian embassy in Washington and consulate in San Francisco.

The Russians have 72 hours to leave the United States, the official said. Access to the two compounds will be denied to all Russian officials as of noon on Friday.

In response Putin noted  he would wait for the actions of President-elect Donald Trump, who will take office on Jan. 20, before deciding on any further steps in relations with the United States.
