President Joe Biden speaks during an event to celebrate labor unions, in the East Room of the White House, Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021, in Washington.

President Biden is set to announce a U.S. ban on the import of Russian oil because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The ban would mark a divergence in U.S. sanctions from those of its allies and partners, most of whom rely on Russian oil imports.
