Maduro Says Venezuela on Path of Economic Recovery despite New US sanctions

The United States has imposed a 25 percent tariff on any country that trades with Venezuela in oil and gas, Xinhua reported.

"If yesterday the battle was with spears and on horseback, today the battle is to produce, supply, export and develop," said Maduro via state television.

Maduro said that Venezuelans have everything they need and that the country will never be a colony.
