President Chávez entrusts Lula aircraft sale
The heads of state of Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela held a meeting in Brasilia in order to discuss the energy integration and deal with the laying of a huge South American gas pipeline to carry Venezuelan hydrocarbons to the South.
At Granja do Torto, a countryside residence of the Brazilian President, the host ruler welcomed his colleagues. During the meeting, the Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez said he would leave in the hands of the Brazilian government the efforts to smooth objection by the United States to sale Venezuela Supertucanos training planes. "If Brazil cannot make the United States to change its mind, then regretfully we will have to buy the planes in Russia, India, China or anywhere else," President Chávez said in Brasilia, following his meeting with his counterparts of Brazil and Argentina, Reuters reported.Note EU-Digest: This powerplay by the US on the sale of transport aircraft to Venezuela by Spain once again demonstrates how the rest of the world is now at its mercy.
