US Secretary of State Pompeo criticizes China, but also Russia, Venezuela and Iran

His remarks related to energy supplies

  • US will use all economic tools at disposal to handle Venezuelan crisis
  • US 'committed to bringing Iranian crude oil exports to zero as quickly as market conditions will permit'
  • China is blocking other southeast Asian countries from developing resources worth $2.5 trillion

Its difficult not to read Pompeo's specific criticism of China in the context of the current disputes between the US and China.
