POLITICAL analyst Derek Ramsamooj has warned there could be risks to Trinidad and Tobago and Caricom if a skilful and diplomatic solution is not found to resolve US-Venezuela tensions in the region.

He made the comment in response to a statement issued by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on August 23, in support of a US naval deployment in the southern Caribbean Sea outside of Venezuela's territorial waters.

In an interview on August 24, Ramsamooj recalled TT played a significant role in the development of the Non-Aligned Movement.
