Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says tensions between the United States and Venezuela will not affect Tobago’s tourism industry, nor will they threaten the country’s regional or national security.
“There is no war. T&T is not a target,” the Prime Minister said. “The targets are narco-traffickers, gun-runners, and human traffickers.”
Persad-Bissessar dismissed claims that the island’s fishermen are being exposed to danger because of regional conflict. “A source in the international media said that Trinidad and Tobago is a nation of fishermen. Nothing is further from the truth. We have fishermen, we have other industries, we have other forms of income,” she said as she answered questions from reporters outside of the Tobago House of Assembly Legislature Building in Scarborough yesterday.
