Russia reserves the right to cut further the number of US diplomatic staff in Moscow Sale Women's Mizuno Wave Rider 18 Pink , Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday, in response to what he called Washington's "boorish" treatment of Russia's diplomatic mission on US soil.
Speaking after US officials ordered Russia to vacate diplomatic premises in several American cities, Putin said he would order the Russian foreign ministry to take legal action over alleged violations of Russia's property rights.
"That the Americans reduced the number of our diplomatic facilities - this is their right," Putin told a news conference in East China's Xiamen city, where he was attending a summit of major emerging economies.
"The only thing is that it was done in such a clearly boorish manner. That does not reflect well on our American partners. But it's difficult to conduct a dialogue with people who confuse Austria and Australia. Nothing can be done about it. Probably such is the level of political culture of a certain part of the US establishment."
"As for our buildings and facilities Men's Mizuno Wave Prophecy 5 Blue Best , this is an unprecedented thing," Putin said. "This is a clear violation of Russia's property rights. Therefore, for a start, I will order the Foreign Ministry to go to court - and let's see just how efficient the much-praised US judiciary is."
US President Donald Trump took office in January, saying he wanted to improve ties with Russia. Putin also spoke favorably of Trump.
But relations have been damaged by accusations from US intelligence officials that Russia sought to meddle in the presidential election. Russia has denied interfering in the vote.
Asked by a reporter if he was disappointed with Trump Women's Mizuno Wave Prophecy 5 Purple Discount , Putin said, "whether I am disappointed or not, your question sounds very naive - he is not my bride and, likewise, I am neither his bride nor bridegroom."
"We are both statesmen. Every nation has interests of its own. In his activities Women's Mizuno Wave Prophecy 5 Black Cheapest , Trump is guided by the national interests of his country, and I by the interests of mine."
"I greatly hope that we will be able, just as the current US president said, to find some compromises while resolving bilateral and international problems ... taking into account our joint responsibility for international security."
The US order for Russia to vacate some of its diplomatic properties was the latest in a series of tit-for-tat actions that began when former US president Barack Obama, late last year Men's Mizuno Wave Prophecy 5 Black Clearance , expelled 35 Russian diplomats.
The Obama administration said it was retaliating for Russian meddling in the US presidential election.
In July, Moscow responded, ordering the US to reduce the number of its diplomatic and technical staff working in Russia by around 60 percent, to 455.
Moscow said the move aimed to bring the number of US and Russian diplomats working on each other's soil to parity. But Putin said the latest expulsions ordered by Washington brought the number of Russian diplomats on US soil to below parity. /]Cheap Jerseys Wholesale[/url] Wholesale JerseysWholesale NFL Jerseys
