imp imports. this is coming from extreme pressure on capitol hill, from speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, dick durbin, all calling for the ban on imports, and when the u.s. acts if it acts as it appears president biden will if the days ahead, it will likely have to be on a unilateral basis. here's why. this decision, if president biden moves forward with it given the pressure on capitol hill cuts against what the administration has to do when it comes to sanctions, what resulted in probably the most widespread and unified sanctions package we have ever seen against a country of russia's size and economic scale. the reason why is because while they wanted to impose maximum pain on president putin, they wanted to limit the spillover on the u.s. and its allies. the european allies in particular have significant exposure on the oil and gas side of things to russia.
