"We are now talking to our European partners and allies to look in a coordinated way at the prospect of banning the import of Russian oil while making sure that there is still an appropriate supply of oil on world market," Blinken said.
Blinken said that in order to introduce such a measure, it is necessary to make sure that there is enough oil on the market.
