President Trump on Monday unveiled an executive order banning transactions in the United States that involve cryptocurrency issued “by, for, or on behalf of” the Venezuelan government.

The order, which applies to all U.S. citizens and other people living in the United States, belongs to a broader package of sanctions the Trump administration has leveled against the repressive regime of Nicolas Maduro in recent months.
