Venezuelan supplies of crude oil to USA may be in jeopardy
Advertisements [?]
Energy Minister Ramirez says, with direct reference to Carlos Andres Perez in the Dominican Republic, that Venezuela will not now allow its crude oil to be sold to countries that support terrorism ... the definition of "terrorism" being against the legitimate government of Venezuela.

Now that CAP has escaped to his luxury apartments in Manhattan, the logical question is being asked what follow-up action is intended this weekend if the White House refuses to deal with the former President of Venezuela under mutual anti-terrorism agreements. Some diplomats are speaking quietly about a probable imposition of an immediate oil embargo against the United States ... which could seriously interrupt supplies ... but official sources in Caracas have not been able to qualify the possibility and the Venezuelan Embassy in Georgetown, Washington D.C. has been closed after extensive flooding in the wake of Friday's hurricane alert.
