President Trump told British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday that Moscow needs to provide unambiguous answers about the recent poisoning of an ex-spy in the U.K., which is believed to have been carried out by Russia, the White House said.
Trump and May agreed during a call about the need for consequences for whoever carried out the poisoning of the former Russian spy, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter last week, according to an administration readout.
