RT (formerly Russia Today) is a Russian international television network funded by the Russian government.
Earlier an RT statement said the US Department of Justice "has given the broadcaster until Monday to register as a foreign agent, otherwise the channel's head faces arrest and its accounts could be frozen".
The instruction comes under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), adopted in 1938 to counter pro-Nazi agitation on US soil.
RT says it will challenge the US requirement in court.
"It contradicts both the democracy and freedom of speech principles. It deprives us of fair competition with other international channels, which are not registered as foreign agents," said RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan.
FARA applies to those engaged in political activity for a foreign government. It would require RT to label anything it produces - making it clear its reports are distributed on behalf of the Russian state.
Charities and other civil society groups operating in Russia have to register as "foreign agents" if they get any foreign funding.
Human rights groups have condemned the label, saying it echoes Soviet-era attacks on dissidents.
