Keith C. Smith on Chevron leaving Lithuania and the Lithuanian-USA relationship

DELFI EN spoke to former American Ambassador to Lithuania Keith C. Smith. He regrets that Lithuania lost an important US investor, Chevron, that recently packed up and left, apparently having given up plans to look for shale gas in Lithuania. Also, even though his term in Vilnius ended in 2000, the ambassador has been following developments in US-Lithuanian relations ever since. What were the high and the low points in this path, we asked. The ambassador also shared his take on U.S. and EU policies towards Russia.
