No decision made on ban of Russia oil imports: US amid rising energy prices

Amid concerns about rising energy prices over the Russia-Ukraine situation, the United States has said no decision has been made by the Biden administration about a ban on importing oil from Russia.

The United States and other western countries have imposed a series of sanctions on Russia after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the “special military operation” last month.

However, Russian energy imports have so far been left out of punitive measures due to concerns over how the energy gap would impact the energy supplies.

“No decision has been made at this point by the president about a ban on importing oil from Russia, and those discussions are ongoing internally and also with our counterparts and partners in Europe and around the world,”
