CARACAS - President Hugo Chavez seized a unit of American food giant Cargill on Wednesday and threatened to take over Venezuela's largest private company, renewing a nationalization drive as the OPEC nation's oil income plunges.
"I warn you this revolution means business," said Chavez, whose government has struggled with lower oil income and minor food shortages this year. Cargill said on Wednesday night it was "respectful" of the Venezuela decision but seeks talks to resolve the situation.
