PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has distanced herself from recent remarks of parliamentary secretary in the Ministry of Housing Phillip Alexander, when asked about a "minister who was in a back and forth with Venezuela."

Alexander in a video posted on social media said because TT was part of the Indian diaspora, the Indian government, led by Narendra Modi, who visited TT in July, would use nuclear weapons against Venezuela.

His remarks attracted the attention of Venezuela vice president Delcy Rodriguez who said, "The only nuclear bomb dropped into the brain of this official's newly-taken government. TT should think of its people before they intend to attack Venezuela and renounce their vassalage to the US government that intends to steal our immense energy resources.”
