Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said that he
expected world oil prices to continue to rise because of the policy US President
George W. Bush's policies contribute to oil price hikes.
"Every time Bush speaks, the price of oil goes up one dollar," Chavez told
during his visit to Rome. "Bush should remain in his ranch and be silent."
Chavez added that he mainly blamed Bush, who he said should be "taken in
front of an international court for genocide" for the war in Iraq.
The Venezuelan president again accused the United States of preparing an attack
against his country, expressing concern about US naval exercises now underway in
the Caribbean. Chavez reiterated that Venezuela would cut its oil sales to the
US if Washington were to launch an invasion.
