(FILES) In this file photo taken on February 20, 2018 Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro applauds during a press conference to launch a new oil-backed cryptocurrency called "Petro", at the Miraflores Presidential Palace in Caracas.
US President Donald Trump on March 19, 2018, barred US firms and citizens from dealing in Venezuela's new cryptocurrency. Trump issued an executive order proscribing "all transactions related to" the new currency, which is designed to make up for a massive government cash crisis.
