Former Jamaican ambassador Curtis A Ward has warned that Trinidad and Tobago is now firmly “in the crosshairs” and is likely to face serious fallout for what he describes as its unreserved support of United States military actions against Venezuela, while sharply criticising Caribbean leaders for what he called weakness and fear in the face of Washington.
In a strongly worded post published on Boxing Day yesterday, Ward accused the Government of Trinidad and Tobago of aligning itself with US efforts aimed at regime change in Venezuela, arguing that this decision has placed the country’s people, infrastructure and economy at grave risk.
“Persad-Bissessar has placed a military target on the backs of the country and the people,” Ward wrote, asserting that T&T now faces consequences far greater than any short-term benefits derived from closer ties with Washington. “It is a scenario in which more Trinidadian and Tobagonian than American citizens could be killed.”
