Hugo Chavez on 20/20 Tonight

Tonight (Friday, 3/16/07) on ABC's "20/20" program Barbara Walters interviews Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the first interview of the socialist leader by an American television journalist since he was re-elected president in December, and since his visit to the U.S. last fall, when he called President Bush "the devil." He tells Walters, "Yes, I call him a devil in the United Nations. … That's true. Another time, I said that he was a donkey." Chavez also tells Walters that he would support Iran against any attack from the U.S.

In addition to the interview, Barbara Walters will include a snapshot of life in Caracas, spending time with both wealthy and poor families.
