Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday that Canada intends to ban crude oil imports from Russia, which he said makes up about a third of Russia’s federal budget revenue, saying it would send a strong message despite Canada having imported little of the product. He also said that Canadian banks would be barred from transactions with the Russian central bank.
