President Biden Limits Russian Vessel Entry into U.S. Ports

President Joseph R. Biden issued a proclamation prohibiting Russian-affiliated vessels from entering into U.S. ports, except under limited circumstances.

Proclamation 10371 prohibits Russian-affiliated vessels from entering into U.S. ports unless such vessels (i) are transporting nuclear material that cannot be shipped on non-Russian vessels or (ii) are requesting entry into U.S. ports due to force majeure to allow "seafarers of any nationality to disembark or embark for purposes of conducting crew changes, emergency medical care, or for other humanitarian need."
