Ten Russian diplomats are being expelled and more than two dozen entities and individuals sanctioned.
Russia will also find it harder as a result to the move to raise money on the international debt markets.
The action is in response to attempts by Moscow to interfere in last November's election and the so-called SolarWinds cyberattacks, which infiltrated a number of federal agencies.
Washington said Russia's foreign intelligence, the SVR, was behind that attack.
