Honduran President Manuel Zelaya said U.S. apathy toward deepening poverty in his nation forced the longtime Washington ally to turn for help to Venezuela’s leftist leader, Hugo Chavez. Zelaya said rising food prices began hitting Hondurans hard six months ago and he asked the local business sector, the United States and the World Bank for help. But he said his pleas fell on deaf ears and so he “sought out Chavez.” Zelaya is scheduled to meet with President Bush next week in New York City.
