New move to soothe US-Venezuelan relations
The Reverend Jesse Jackson has urged the US government to strongly condemn a televised call to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying Washington needs to cool down the rhetoric against a country that is a key oil supplier.
Chavez said yesterday after meeting Jackson that he is willing to cooperate with the US against drug trafficking as long as its agents are not involved in spying, and that Venezuela plans to begin providing oil directly to poor US communities.
