Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez has already injected himself into the American political process. In the months leading up to the 2006 midterm elections, Chavez offered cut rate oil to the poor of the United States. Boston, New York, and Chicago took Chavez’s offer and began programs to deliver cheap home heating oil to the poor. This was a slap in George Bush’s face and had clear PR objectives for Chavez.
International business lawyer Jay Lillie says to watch out for more shenanigans from Chavez, as we roll into the final months of the presidential election season.
Don’t miss this interview with Lillie as he lays out the potential impact to the U.S. of left leaning neighbors like Venezuela and other Latin American and Caribbean countries. He’ll explain:
• How Chavez and his allies will use oil as leverage to push America to the left.
• Which presidential nominee has the most to lose if Chavez directs more of his populist rhetoric toward the U.S.
• How the changing political landscape in Cuba will alter America’s foreign policies.
And much more.
