Russia will look to export gold to other countries after the United States introduced a ban on imports of Russian gold, the TASS state news agency cited Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Wednesday.

The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on more than 100 targets and banned new imports of Russian gold, acting on commitments made by the Group of Seven leaders this week to further punish Russia over its actions in Ukraine. (Reporting by Reuters)
