The United States has already begun to implement measures to pressure Venezuela to prevent it from sheltering Edward Snowden. Last week, Washington proceeded to revoke U.S. entry visas of Venezuelan government officials and businessmen associated with deceased President Hugo Chavez. Furthermore, in a telephone conversation, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry advised Venezuela Foreign Minister Elias Jaua of other measures the U.S. could impose if Venezuelan asylum for Snowden goes ahead, such as the suspension of gasoline and oil derivative sales to the Caribbean country, which are vital to maintain the day-to-day life of the country. The fear in Washington is that Snowden could take advantage of his temporary asylum in Russia to leave the airport in Moscow and find refuge in the Venezuela Embassy in the Russian capital, or travel to another part of Russia from which his flight to Caracas would be much more feasible. worldmeets.us/ worldmeets.us/abces000006.shtml#ixzz2ZsNzewjy
