The Russian foreign ministry said on Friday it had banned 200 U.S. nationals from entering Russia, according to Russia's state TASS news agency. 

"In response to the new individual sanctions that are being continually imposed by the Biden administration not only on Russian officials, business and public officials, and cultural figures but also on those who for one reason or another do not please Washington, a reciprocal ban on entering the Russian Federation is imposed against 200 U.S. citizens," Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.

It said it had banned entry by Valerie Biden Owens, James Brian Biden and Francis William Biden.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was also included on the list.
