MADRID -- Spain this week will sign a deal to sell $1.7 billion in military and civilian equipment to Venezuela despite U.S. concerns over arms purchases by the country, a government source said.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero is due to sign the deal with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Wednesday, the source said. The sale includes coastal patrol boats and transport and surveillance planes.
