Washington. Estados Unidos condenó este jueves la detención en Rusia de un periodista estadounidense del diario The Wall Street Journal, acusado de “espionaje”.

Los funcionarios estadounidenses dijeron estar en contacto con la familia del periodista detenido, Evan Gershkovich, y que tanto el periódico como el Departamento de Estado se pusieron en contacto con Rusia.

"La persecución de ciudadanos estadounidenses por parte del gobierno ruso es inaceptable. Condenamos la detención del señor Gershkovich en los términos más enérgicos", indicó en un comunicado la vocera de la Casa Blanca Karine Jean-Pierre.
