Venezuela will cut its oil exports to the United States if Washington continues its hostile stance towards Caracas, Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez was quoted as saying by Iran's official IRNA news agency today.

"Our policy is clear, if America wants to have a hostile policy towards us, we will stop exporting oil to that country," he said in remarks translated into Persian.

"If Iran were under attack, it would definitely act just like us," he added.
