According to sources, the United States intends to ban the import of Russian oil, even if the European allies are not involved in the ban.
United States plans to ban oil imports from Russia, they say Wall Street Journal and the news agency Reuters based on anonymous sources.
Both Democrats and Republicans have called for a U.S. president Joe Biden administration to take action.
Biden is expected to announce the ban at 17.45 Finnish time.
White House has said Biden will announce new sanctions on Tuesday, but has not specified what the sanctions will be, Reuters reports.
Biden has also been negotiating with European countries. Two knowledgeable people told Reuters on Monday that the United States is willing to impose a ban on Russian oil imports without the involvement of European allies.
