(CNN)President Joe Biden is expected to ban Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports into the United States on Tuesday, according to three sources familiar with the decision.
The US will take the move unilaterally without its European allies as European nations disagree on whether to ban Russian energy imports. The EU countries are significantly more dependent on Russian energy than the US.
Faced with extreme political pressure at home, US officials decided they could act without the coalition and create no major problems.
Biden is expected to address the new moves at 10:45 a.m. ET.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
