The State of U.S.-Venezuela Relations Story aired: Tuesday, April 03, 2007
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez warned on Monday that his government might take over private hospitals if their prices continue to go up.
Chavez has already nationalized electric and telecom companies, but it is the nationalization of the country's most lucrative oil projects that has Washington especially worried, because Venezuela is the fourth largest oil supplier to the U.S.
Joining us on his cell phone is Bernardo Alvarez Herrera, the Venezuelan Ambassador to the U.S. He's in New England to give a lecture tomorrow night at Brown University on the rocky relationship between Washington and the current Venezuelan government.
