Before now, the US president had said it refrained from banning the importation of Russia’s oil and gas because the US was considering the welfare of its citizens.
His tweet: “Today, I’m announcing that the United States is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy.
“We are banning all imports of Russian oil and gas.”
