The Trump administration is moving toward handing back to Russia two diplomatic compounds, near New York City and on Marylands Eastern Shore, that its officials were ejected from in late December as punishment for Moscows interference in the 2016 presidential election.
President Barack Obama said Dec. 29 that the compounds were being used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes and gave Russia 24 hours to vacate them. Separately, Obama expelled from the United States what he said were 35 Russian intelligence operatives.
