Venezuela's President Chavez Offers Cheap Oil to the Poor...of the United States

Today, the rest of our interview with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.

President Chavez was in New York last week for a summit of world leaders at the United Nations. In his speech, Chavez blasted US foreign policy and accused the Bush administration of trying to hijack the UN summit. He described the United States as a terrorist nation because it is harboring the televangelist Pat Robertson who recently called for his assassination. Chavez has long charged that the US was behind the aborted coup against him in 2002.

In the interview, he reveals for the first time, details of a plan to offer of cheap oil to the poor...of the United States.

Democracy Now! met with President Chavez on Friday in his first sit-down interview in the United States. I interviewed him with Democracy Now! co-host Juan Gonzalez and Maraget Prescod of Pacifica Radio station KPFK at the Venezuelan ambassador to the UN's residence here in New York City.
