CARACAS, Venezuela.-The people of Venezuela ratified this Wednesday their friendship and respect for their American counterpart, and requested their support in the confrontation of the economic war and claims of military intervention by President Donald Trump.

In an open letter published by the New York Times, Venezuelans warn the recent unilateral measures imposed by Trump affect negatively the American population.

In this regard, they explained that punitive measures against the South American country can lead to an increase in gas supply prices or difficulties with their own retirement funds.

In its message the Bolivarian Government asserted this aggressive behavior in Washington will generate more global rejection and hatred for the US government, to be replicated to the American people.
