Trinidadians Calling for Prime Minister to Address the Nation

-
One Caribbean Nation. Trinidad Guardian Editorial The population of Trinidad and Tobago is now into a period in which every T&TEC generator that blows can give citizens close to the explosion a feeling “that the war has started.” And who can blame such a possible reaction in the circumstances of complete uncertainty about what is likely to unfold out of the happenings of the last couple weeks.

PM: Trinidad and Tobago will not be blackmailed TRINIDAD Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar does not plan to bow to any pressure from Venezuela as she stressed that Trinidad and Tobago will not be blackmailed and is not dependent on any Venezuelan gas. She declared that no one - be it the Venezuelan government, the People's National Movement (PNM), CARICOM, or any other entity - will "pressure or blackmail" her Government into retreating from the fight against the drug cartels. In response to questions from the Express yesterday, the Prime Minister shrugged off Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez's proposal to be made by the board of the Venezuelan state-owned company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) for President Nicolás Maduro to suspend all gas agreements with T&T. Persad-Bissessar said reports of Venezuela's proposed gas suspension with T&T are not a cause for any grave concern. "Our ...
