Venezuela has proposed that all of its gas agreements with Trinidad and Tobago be immediately suspended.

The decision was made citing tensions with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, her previous statements and the country’s welcoming of US forces in the Caribbean.

The announcement was made by the country’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, who in a press conference earlier today said the proposal was being made by the board of the Venezuelan State-owned company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), to President Nicolas Maduro.
