US Rep asks for Refidomsa check

[NewsWhore]

US Representative from California Loretta Sanchez is asking the US State Department to investigate the recent sale of a 49% share in the Dominican Petroleum Refinery (Refidomsa) to Venezuela. Sanchez argues the sale could violate international trade rules. In a letter to the State Department, Sanchez argues this agreement could have devastating long-term repercussions for the DR. She cited Hugo Chavez's history of "regional interference," as part of the concern. She is also asking the State Department to determine whether the sale violates DR-CAFTA or any other agreement between the US and the DR.
