Russia polls Twitter on which US consulate to close in response to diplomats' expulsion

The Russian embassy in Washington, D.C. is asking Twitter users which U.S. diplomatic facility it should close in response to the Trump administration’s move to expel dozens of Russian diplomats.

“US administration ordered the closure of the Russian Consulate in Seattle @GK_Seattle,” the embassy wrote in a tweet.

“What US Consulate General would you close in @Russia, if it was up to you to decide[.]”
