Uruguay and Venezuela have discouraged their citizens from traveling to the United States, citing this weekends mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton, Ohio as indicators of danger and a rise in hate crimes.
In recent years, Germany, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand have issued similar warnings about travel to America.
In some cases, such alerts have been politically motivated responses to the United States declaring other countries dangerous, but a growing number of countries have taken Americas prevalence of mass gun violence as a serious threat to their citizens.
Venezuelas warning to its citizens came amid political disagreements with the United States.

Nobody wants to visit here, and foreign governments are actively warning their citizens against visiting the U.S. That's greatness, isn't it?
