US Ambassador to Venezuela William Brownfield made reference to a report published by the US Congress claiming that the US-Mexico border is at risk of "infiltration" of terrorists holding Venezuelan identity documents.

He explained that the document "highlights an area where we could cooperate undoubtedly: controls over passports, activities of organizations in the region, movement of people and sharing information between the two governments," Brownfield said, as quoted by Unión Radio.

"I hope in the future, rather than talking about this kind of reports at the US Congress, we could talk about wider cooperation between our governments to resist, fight and curb and eventually eradicate terrorism in the region."
