MARACAIBO, VENEZUELA

“It is an obligation to help the weakest” countries, Chavez said in a televised address.

“The United States would pay us $200 a barrel for oil – give it to me then,” said Chavez, whose nation is the world’s 10th largest oil producer. “Now Haiti, no. Haiti gets preferential treatment. Socialism says: To everyone according to their needs.”
