LIVE VIDEO: President Joe Biden is expected to announce a new set of measures against Russia for its launch of an 'unprovoked and unjustified war' against Ukraine.
President Joe Biden announced Friday the U.S. will dramatically downgrade its trade status with Russia as punishment for its invasion of Ukraine and also ban imports of Russian seafood, alcohol and diamonds.
"The free world is coming together to confront Putin," Biden said from the Roosevelt Room of the White House. Biden's changes on Russia's trade status come as bipartisan pressure has been building in Washington to revoke what is formally known as “permanent normal trade relations” with Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pressed the U.S. and allies to take the action against Russia in remarks to Congress over the weekend. It follows days after the Biden moved to ban imports of Russian oil and gas products.
