New York, March 27 – White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer issued a press release explaining the reasons of expelling the Russian diplomats from America. A press statement issued on March 26, highlighted the core reasons behind the expulsion.The statement made by Press Secretary Sean Spicer said: ‘Today President Donald J. Trump ordered the expulsion of dozens of Russian intelligence officers from the United States and the closure of the Russian consulate in Seattle due to its proximity to one of our submarine bases and Boeing. The United States takes this action in conjunction with our NATO allies and partners around the world in response to Russia’s use of a military-grade chemical weapon on the soil of the United Kingdom, the latest in its ongoing pattern of destabilizing activities around the world. Today’s actions make the United States safer by reducing Russia’s ability to spy on Americans and to conduct covert operations that threaten America’s national security. With these steps, the United States and our allies and partners make clear to Russia that its actions have consequences. The United States stands ready to cooperate to build a better relationship with Russia, but this can only happen with a change in the Russian government’s behavior.’
It needs to be mentioned that President Trump through this step sends a strong message to his internal critics and Russia as well that will not hesitate to behave in a strong way to secure America’s vital logistic interest. Trump is alleged of having secret deal with Russia and enjoyed covert support to come to White House. Trump during election campaign advocated to have warm relations with Russia.
But his latest step is entirely opposite to his earlier pledges. This undoubted is a positive step that brightens the decaying image of Trump.
