Venezuela’s Jus­tice Min­is­ter, Dios­da­do Ca­bel­lo, claims that a for­mer US in­tel­li­gence of­fi­cer be­lieves the Unit­ed States is send­ing a strong mes­sage to Venezuela not to in­ter­fere with Trinidad and To­ba­go.

On his week­ly tele­vi­sion pro­gramme, Ca­bel­lo re­ferred to com­ments made by a for­mer US Naval In­tel­li­gence Of­fi­cer, sug­gest­ing that the US could come to T&T’s aid in the event of any mil­i­tary con­flict be­tween Trinidad and To­ba­go and Venezuela.

He said the mil­i­tary ex­pert be­lieves that the Amer­i­cans are is­su­ing a strong warn­ing to Ca­bel­lo and oth­er se­nior Venezue­lan gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials not to in­ter­fere with T&T.
