Venezuela accounts for 12% of US's oil imports. Cutting off Venezuelan oil would likely result in a significant jump in fuel prices and I don't know if most people wants to pay even more for a gallon of gasoline.....no matter how red, white and blue they are.

Since China's human rights record is every bit as questionable (probably even more) as Venezuela's, there is no difference between supporting Venezuela and supporting China by buying their products. Of course, hardly anyone pays lip service to China because our prices are so low.

So AE new hires, shop at Valero to your heart's content.....I say.
