Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has asked him for details about Moscow's recent action to retaliate against American sanctions.
Lavrov — who met with Tillerson in the Philippines on Sunday — says he explained how Russia will carry out its response. But Lavrov isn't giving out details.
The Kremlin says the U.S. must cut its embassy and consulate staff in Russia by 755 people. But there's been confusion because the U.S. is believed to have far fewer than 755 American employees in the country.
Russia also closed a U.S. recreational retreat on the outskirts of Moscow.
Lavrov says he met with Tillerson because there's no alternative to dialogue.
There's no immediate reaction to the meeting from the U.S. side.
