Venezuela's vice president Delcy Rodríguez confirmed Sunday that President Nicolás Maduro sent a letter to U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month urging both countries to counter "fake news" and preserve peace through dialogue, amid rising tensions in the Caribbean.
The letter, dated September 6, was delivered through a South American intermediary, Rodríguez stated on her social media channels. It was sent four days after a U.S. drone strike destroyed a boat Washington alleged had departed Venezuela carrying drugs, killing 11 people.
