Venezuela, Uruguay issue advisories against travel to the US

The governments of Venezuela and Uruguay have issued travel advisories warning its citizens of the dangers of visiting the United States after two mass shootings over the weekend left more than 30 people dead.
 
Uruguay's Foreign Ministry urged citizens who travel to the U.S. to take extreme precautions.
 
In a release, the ministry said U.S. authorities cannot prevent the shootings because of indiscriminate possession of firearms and advised Uruguayans to avoid large public events including shopping centres, art and food festivals, and religious gatherings.
 
The U.S. State Department downgraded Uruguay's travel status from normal precaution to increased caution because of increased crime.
 
Venezuela's Foreign Ministry also issued a statement suggesting that citizens postpone travel to the U.S. in light of violence and indiscriminate hate crimes.
 
The U.S. has also warned its citizens against any travel to Venezuela.
