President Joe Biden has signed a measure into law to end normal trade relations with Russia and signed a separate measure to codify the United States’ ban on Russian oil imports, marking the latest major U.S. response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The signing of H.R. 7108, the Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act, suspends normal trade relations with the two countries and “seeks to further leverage trade and human rights sanctions,” according to the White House.
