Watch a live broadcast from Washington, DC as US President Joe Biden is expected to announce an embargo on imports of Russian oil, liquified natural gas, and coal.
According to the data from the US Energy Information Administration, Russian oil made up about 3 percent of all the crude shipments that arrived in the US last year.
