Former Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley is describing as “madness” Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s announcement that “TT is off-limits to Venezuela.”

She made the statement at a post-cabinet media conference at the Red House, Port of Spain on June 6, in response to a statement made by Venezuelan Justice Minister Diosdado Cabello, who vowed to pursue anyone attempting to destabilise Venezuela.

In a Facebook post titled Shoot First, Find Out After, minutes after the end of the briefing, Rowley asked what happened to standard diplomacy, fact finding and common sense in handling sensitive matters of this nature.
