Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Sunday that he is ordering 755 American diplomats to leave Russia amid sweeping new sanctions legislation that was overwhelmingly approved by Congress and is expected to be signed by President Trump. “We waited for quite some time that maybe something will change for the better, had such hope that the situation will somehow change, but, judging by everything, if it changes, it will not be soon,” Putin said of U.S.-Russia relations during a television interview, according to Interfax. Russia’s deputy foreign minister said earlier Sunday that the government has “a very rich toolbox at our disposal” by which to retaliate.
