WASHINGTON—The U.S. will seek to sever normal trade ties with Russia, including banning imports of its signature seafood, vodka and diamonds, as it joins other countries in ratcheting up economic pressure on Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine, President Biden said Friday.
The measures will be “another crushing blow to the Russian economy” and President Vladimir Putin, Mr. Biden said, on the heels of other efforts by the U.S. and allies to isolate it from international commerce.
