However, the window for a dialogue with Moscow remains open, the secretary general of the alliance said. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that during a news conference in Brussels held on Tuesday.
Jens Stoltenberg announced on Tuesday that the intergovernmental military alliance would be expelling seven observers from the Russian mission over the poisoning of ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK.
Mattis' statement comes after NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg earlier in the day announced sanctions against Russian Federation in connection to the poisoning of Skripals, which has been blamed on Moscow.
NATO's announcement comes after a string of Western countries led by the US and European Union said this week they would expel more than 100 Russian diplomats in total, arguing that the attack could have only been carried out with Moscow's involvement.
"The practical implication is that Russian Federation will have a reduced capability to do intelligence work in North Atlantic Treaty Organisation countries and in those countries they are expelled from", Stoltenberg said.

On Monday, the US, Germany, Canada and a number of other nations expelled a scores of Moscow diplomats, a move Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described as "blackmail".
Stoltenberg says "we will continue to work for meaningful dialogue" with Russian Federation but the measure announced Tuesday "send a very clear message to Russian Federation that it has costs".
Britain has said the Skripals were poisoned with the Soviet-developed nerve agent "Novichok", though Russian Federation has denied involvement.
Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a bench at a shopping center in Salisbury earlier this month.
