The US is to expel 35 Russian diplomats, and shut down two Russian compounds, in response to "harassment" of Americans in Moscow.
The diplomats affected work at the Russian embassy in Washington, and at the country's consulate in San Francisco.
The move is part of a series of measures, not only for alleged intimidation of US diplomats in the Russian capital, but also for alleged interference in the recent presidential election.
Two US officials also said there would be a series of measures after Russia allegedly hacked US political institutions, as well as individuals.
In addition, Vladimir Putin's country is accused of helping President-elect Donald Trump and other Republican candidates by leaking information.
