| Subject: Venezuela will cut oil to U.S. if attacked: Chavez- Well, DoH! Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:09 am | |
| CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday he will cut oil sales to the United States if Washington attacks the South American country.
Venezuela is in the midst of a legal battle with U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil, which recently won court orders freezing up to $12 billion in Venezuelan assets to ensure compensation for an oil project Chavez nationalized last year.
... For years, the leftist leader has warned he could halt oil exports to its principal customer, but he has never carried out the threat. Venezuela last week cut commercial ties with Exxon to protest the legal assault.
