Georgetown, July 19 (RHC)-- In news from Guyana, The Chronicle has revealed that the Government of Guyana rejected the request of the U.S. government to broadcast content of the Voice of America against Venezuela from Guyanese territory.

According to the report, U.S. authorities planned to use a medium-wave antenna in Guyana to transmit content from Donald Trump's administration to Venezuela's radio space.  The article published by Chronicle revealed that the request was made by the Executive's Board of Broadcasting Governors in Washington to Guyana's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which subsequently passed the request on to the Caribbean country's Public Telecommunications Ministry.

The U.S. request referred to a Guyanese radio station on the frequency of 560 kHz, to place the new medium-wave signal on an existing or a new assigned frequency, which would have a power of 50 KW in order to reach Venezuelan territory.

The newspaper revealed the statements of the director of communications of the Guyana presidency, Ariana Gordon, who rejected the request.  She said: "It is not in our national interest to do something that contributes to destabilize relations with Venezuela."

The Voice of America is a U.S. news and multimedia platform that is charged with defaming and attacking governments that disagree with the policies of the United States.
