Chavez pins U S blame for high oil prices
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez told businessmen that the U S government is responsible for oil prices hitting about 40 dollars a barrel, arguing Washington’s Iraq war drives fuel costs and urging measures to obtain oil at desired prices. He noted Venezuela’s view of 30 dollars as a fair price while OPEC members debate production and market stability. Gasoline and crude prices surged, with New York crude futures near 42 dollars before easing.
