"Leaving a meeting of Democratic leaders in the House, Hoyer said a bill to ban Russian oil imports would end up for consideration "this week," the publication's correspondent reported on Twitter.

Earlier at a press conference, White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to answer a question on whether US President Joe Biden would sign the bill if it were passed. 

According to Psaki, Biden has not yet decided definitively on the possibility of banning oil imports from Russia.
