The FINANCIAl — According to Reuters, Russia aims to corner energy markets, a senior U.S. official said on Monday as Vice-President Dick Cheney arrived in Italy during a tour that has taken in eastern European states which are important transit routes.
"The fact is Russia has worked hard to try to corner the markets, so to speak, and is working to foreclose options to transit for those energy products across Russia," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"They want everything to come out through Russia and a lot of us think it`s more important that there be diverse means of gaining access to those resources. No one country ought to be able to totally dominate those deliveries."
