The Trump administration declined to say Saturday whether it will follow Britain in expelling Russian diplomats after an ex-spy was poisoned on British soil but acknowledged considering a range of “options” in response to the attack. Britain earlier this week expelled nearly two dozen Russian diplomats after the March 4 poisoning of ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter. The White House’s National Security Council has reportedly advised Trump to expel Russian diplomats. Trump critics have repeatedly said the president is too supportive of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s leadership style. Trump previously joined British Prime Minister Theresa May and the leaders of France and Germany in condemning the poisoning.
