JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia, May 19 (Reuters) - Venezuelan Oil
Minister Manuel Quevedo said on Sunday his country's economy and
oil industry was under economic and financial siege by the U.S.
government.
"This therefore generates disturbances in the flow of oil
supply to the world market as well as serious economic damage
and suffering to the Venezuelan people," he said in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia, ahead of a ministerial panel meeting of top OPEC
and non-OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia.
