His statement was published on the website of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry.
“Against the background of Washington’s actions to reduce cooperation in all spheres and economic strangulation of our country, we also quite objectively do not see any sense in the presence of such significant personnel of the American diplomatic mission in Belarus.
It's just not clear what he should do against such a background, ”said the press secretary.
Glaz said that "in this regard, the American side was proposed to reduce the number of its Embassy in Minsk to 5 people by September 1."
"Actually, such a completely understandable logic will be taken into account in the event of a further decrease in bilateral cooperation at the initiative of the United States," he added.
Earlier it was reported that the US Treasury imposed sanctions on 23 individuals and 21 organizations in Belarus.
Later, the Foreign Ministry of Belarus said that the department "strongly condemns the unilateral coercive measures taken by the United States of America, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Canada on August 9 against the Republic of Belarus."
