President Donald Trump imposed additional sanctions on Venezuela on Monday prohibiting the use of any digital currency linked to the failed communist regime.

Trump wrote that the sanctions were necessary “in light of recent actions taken by the Maduro regime to attempt to circumvent U.S. sanctions by issuing a digital currency in a process that Venezuela’s democratically elected National Assembly has denounced as unlawful.”
