Kremlin says ‘too early’ to discuss market impact of potential embargo on Venezuelan oil

The press reported earlier that the US was considering the option of introducing a package of sanctions against the oil sector of Venezuela

MOSCOW, January 24. /TASS/. It is premature to debate any market affects that a potential embargo announcement on Venezuelan oil exports would bring, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

"It is too early to talk about that," the press secretary said.

Peskov chose not to comment on how Russia might help Venezuela if such embargo is announced.

"No, I cannot answer this question so far," he replied.

The press reported earlier that the United States was considering the option of introducing a package of sanctions against the oil sector of Venezuela.
