The White House could announce a ban on Russian energy imports as early as Tuesday, a new report suggests.
President Joe Biden intends to stop purchasing oil and natural gas from Moscow as prices at the pump skyrocket in the US, Bloomberg reported.
His administration has been under pressure to act since late last month when Russia's authoritarian leader Vladimir Putin ordered an unprovoked and bloody invasion of Ukraine.
European allies are reportedly not joining the ban but were consulted by US officials.
It comes as Putin threatened to shut down Russia's gas pipeline to Europe in response to a boycott on his country's energy exports -- which could push the price of crude oil to a staggering $300 a barrel.
Prices already shot up to a rate not seen since 2008 on Monday, reaching $140 per barrel.
