More action taken over spy

-

BRUSSELS — Several European Union countries said Friday they may follow Britain in expelling Russian diplomats, as EU Council chief Donald Tusk predicted member states would introduce more measures against Moscow for the poisoning of an ex-spy in England.

Tusk called the bloc’s response “unpreceden­ted,” and said “more steps are expected at a national level” starting Monday.

“I am especially pleased that despite tough Brexit negotiatio­ns, the EU has demonstrat­ed unanimous and unequivoca­l unity with the U.K. in the face of this attack,” Tusk said at a Brussels news conference.
