Chavez: Venezuela Could Cut Oil Exports To US If Provoked iratecinemaunderground.com Who wins el mat? Don't be on the losing team - freedom isn't free = the tree of liberty is watered with blood CARACAS (AP)--Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned Friday that he could cut off oil exports to the U.S. if Washington provokes him by continuing to try to destabilize his left-leaning government. "The government of the United States should know that if they go over the line, they are not going to have Venezuelan oil," said Chavez, a self-styled "revolutionary" and close ally of Cuban leader Fidel Castro. "I have already taken measures regarding this. I'm not going to say what because they think that I can't take these measures because we would have any place to send the oil. They are mistaken," he added. Chavez statements came a day after U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the Venezuelan government posed "one of the biggest problems" in the region and that its ties to Cuba were "particularly dangerous" to democracy in Latin America.
