Posted by ac on January 22nd, 2010
“A tense diplomatic exchange between Chilean President-Elect Sebastian Piñera and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez this week highlighted the political differences between the two leaders on a continent where the terms of economic integration and relations with the United States are in hot dispute.
In a press conference on Monday, Piñera, a Harvard-educated, multi-millionaire businessman, outlined his differences with Chavez, a vociferous opponent of U.S. imperialism who advocates regional integration based on cooperation rather than the free market.”
