William Brownfield Venezuela Quotations

Venezuela and the U.S. are natural commercial partners, and this will not change.

We owe it to our own citizens to ensure that we have contingency plans, should such a reduction or interruption come to pass, ... But let me say that this would be an illogical act on the part of the government of Venezuela. Venezuela and the U.S. are natural partners in oil, for simple, common sense geographic reasons.

What the government of Venezuela has offered the United States in response to the disaster, the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, is a generous offer, ... When we are talking about one-to-five million dollars, that is real money. I want to recognize that and say, 'thank you.'

The problem between Venezuela and the United States has been solved.
