Trump considers expelling some Russian diplomats over poison attack: source
Later, London stated that this agent was designed in Russian Federation and blamed Moscow for being behind the incident based on this assumption.

"We stand in solidarity with our Allies in the United Kingdom, and we fully supported the UK's decision to expel diplomats and take other actions to respond", the senior official said.
"In solidarity with United Kingdom over #SalisburyAttack and for violation of Vienna convention Latvia joins many #EU countries expelling Russian diplomats as well as blacklisting a Russian citizen", Edgars Rinkevics, Latvia's foreign minister, said on Twitter.
