US bans exports of American luxury goods to Russia, Belarus

The United States announces a ban on exports of American luxury goods to Russia and Belarus Friday, including jewelry, clothing, and vehicles, as Washington increased its pressure on Moscow over the invasion of Ukraine.

The ban extends to “certain Russian and Belarusian oligarchs and malign actors located worldwide,” a statement from the Commerce Department says, adding that such controls had previously applied only to North Korea.
