18/01/2010 Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez on Sunday accused the United States of using the tragedy of Haiti's earthquake to launch a military occupation of the country.
"Why send 3,000 armed soldiers unless it is for war?"
"It appears they are militarily occupying Haiti, taking advantage of the tragedy," he said during his weekly radio and television show "Alo Presidente."
The Pentagon has announced the deployment of 10,000 troops to Haiti, which the United States has occupied in the past.
In Addition, Chavez said Venezuela will give Haiti "however much fuel is needed" to help it recover from Tuesday's devastating earthquake, and that the first oil tanker would be heading out Monday."
"The people of Venezuela are donating however much fuel is needed for the people of Haiti, for their hospitals and the hydroelectric plants that Cuba is installing."
Venezuela responded to the emergency situation in Haiti a few hours after the quake struck, with an airlift of food, water and medical supplies for the impoverished Carribean nation.
