Venezuelan president offers food and Fuel to the U.S.

Quote:

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

The leftist leader, a frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, said Venezuela could send aid workers with drinking water, food and fuel to US communities hit by the hurricane.

"We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages -- we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel," Chavez told reporters.

Chavez said fuel could be sent to the United States via a Citgo refinery that has not been affected by the hurricane. Citgo is owned by Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

In the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for a quarter of total US oil output, 92 percent of crude and 83 percent of natural gas production were shut down due to Hurricane Katrina, which slammed Louisiana and Mississippi, according to US government data.

Venezuela is the fourth-largest provider of oil to the United States, supplying some 1.5 million barrels a day.

Last week, Chavez offered discount gasoline to poor Americans suffering from high oil prices and on Sunday offered free eye surgery for Americans without access to health care.

The state took over control when he came into power.

Just like in cuba, they "nationalized" american oil refineries

Nice! ...what we should be doing in times like that...

Just because he's a critic of the current US regime doesn't mean he's a bad man. Bush has a 38% approval rating after all, does that mean 62% of America should be blasted by the American media liek Chavez is currently? No way.

Nice gesture on his part. :thumbsup

don't believe the hype - see sig - haha

Just a country / President / governments that haven't had a good world rep being the first to propose aid; it's not like the US doesn't have oil reserves if they really needed it..

How about re-locating the people and building them new homes in a non-hurricane region?

Only because people are told to "we need a shitty relationship" - it don't come out of thin air :-) Maybe if Bush never tried to kill off Chavez, he might not have any personal problem with the US admin - but Chavez took it personally (DUH?), but is still willing to help.

Saudi and Venez are both making efforts to help - they ain't so dumb as to get caught up in some silly hate syndrome. Anyone with common sense knows people will end up suffering and help is needed and that comes before other bs.

If I was personally on US's shitlist, I'd also take my chances whenever the opportunity presents itself :1orglaugh
