"Fortunately, Venezuela has resources in euros, yuan, petro ... We must completely free ourselves from the blackmail of the dollar," the head of state quoted RIA Novosti.
Earlier, Maduro called the American leader Donald Trump "just a passenger" in the United States, noting that Venezuela will continue relations with the United States in various fields, except for diplomacy and politics.
In mid-October, Venezuelan authorities announced the termination of the sale of the dollar in the foreign exchange market due to US sanctions.
