A HUGE row is brewing that threatens to spark war after Russia insulted Donald Trump in a very sly way.
The two superpowers are currently clashing after the United States seized Russian diplomatic property in New York and Maryland.
Then-US President Barack Obama ordered the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds and kicked out 35 diplomats from the country in response to alleged Kremlin hacking of the US election in 2016.
But an argument has erupted between the two countries after American officials attempted to set conditions for them to return the compounds to Russian control.
Moscow has said any attempts by Washington to hold onto the property goes against international law and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it amounted to "daylight robbery".

We still hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate a certain political wisdom and political will
Mr Lavrov added that this disagreement and "anti-Russian" sentiment among Americans may mean the countries will not agree on key, global issues.
The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, is due to meet US Undersecretary of State, Thomas Shannon, today to discuss the matter.
But in a move that will likely spark fury in Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued thinly-veiled insult at the President.
Apparently alluding to Trump, Mr Peskov said he hoped the US would be able to show some "political wisdom".
"We still hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate a certain political wisdom and political will," he remarked during a conference call.
We live in turbulent times. Trump has the keys to nuclear weapons, and could end work to prevent climate change. Putin is looming in the East, the far-right are on the rise in Europe and Kim Jong-un is developing nuclear weapons of his own. Is this the END of days?

Before his inauguration, Donald Trump asked a security expert three times during a briefing, why the US couldn't use nuclear weapons after he becomes president.
Trump's wisdom and intelligence have been frequently called into question by his critics after the President made a number of high-profile gaffes.
These have included referring to Mexican people as rapists and saying a US Senator John McCain is not a war hero because he was captured by the enemy and became a prisoner of war.
Mr Peskov refused to say what Russia will do if the US does return the seized property.
