United States President, Joe Biden, on Thursday announced the expulsion of 10 Russian diplomats amid stiffer new sanctions being proposed by the new administration.
Biden disclosed that the development was in response to Russia’s interference in last year’s US presidential election as well as the hacking of its federal government agencies.
The sanctions are meant to cut deeper than previous efforts imposed by former president Barrack Obama to punish Russia for interfering in elections, targeting the country’s sovereign debt, according to people briefed on the matter.
