Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday reiterated the possibility of cutting his country's oil supply to the United States if it attacks Venezuela.
"If there is a new aggression against our government, there will not be one more drop of oil for the United States," Chavez told a press conference, adding that "We are prepared for it."
Chavez said he will not differentiate between the origin of the aggression, whether it is from the United States directly or from anti-Venezuelan forces commanded by Washington.
Venezuela delivers 1.3 million barrels of oil to the United States daily.
The president believes the U.S.' aggressive attitude comes from big companies rather than his counterpart George W. Bush.
"President Bush is not the boss over there, he is just a small figure," he said. "The big corporations make the decisions, those unscrupulous ones that start wars to sell and win billions of dollars."
