Venezuela to send US more cheap oil

Venezuela has said it will expand a programme to provide cheap home heating fuel to poor Americans, helping low-income families in Vermont and Rhode Island, as well as four Indian tribes in Maine.

Venezuela’s Citgo Petroleum Corp has already begun selling millions of litres of discounted fuel in Massachusetts and the Bronx in New York City as part of a plan by Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, to aid poor communities that he says are neglected by Washington.
