The President of the United States of America (USA) Donald Trump spoke by phone today with British Prime Minister Theresa May about the coordinated efforts of the Western allies to expel Russian intelligence agents, the White House announced.

The White House said Trump and May agreed that exposing Russian spy rings was a priority to "stop Russia's covert activities and prevent future chemical weapons attacks on the soil of either country."

Britain accuses Russia of being behind the nerve gas attack on double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. On March 4, they were found unconscious on a bench and, as reported at the time, in a critical condition.

More than 20 countries, including the USA, Germany, France, Poland, Ukraine and Montenegro, expelled a total of more than 150 Russian diplomats this Sunday in solidarity with Great Britain.

Trump and May also discussed the recent adoption of a law that should make it easier for security officials in the US and other countries to access electronic data abroad, according to the White House.
