Patrushev appreciated the actions of the United States in respect of Venezuela

Such an opinion in an interview with the newspaper "Izvestia" was expressed by the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolay Patrushev

“The strategic goal of the United States is to become the leader of world oil exports in the next few years, setting its own“ rules of the game ”and dictating OPEC’s will,” he said.

In addition, according to Patrushev, the US actions against Venezuela are explained by Washington’s desire to have cheap Venezuelan oil, and to export expensive slate oil for export.

Earlier, Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro announced the exposure of the plot of the United States against Venezuela.

In late January, expert Nikita Danyuk, in an interview with FBA Economy Today, spoke about the possible developments in Venezuela.
