Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers says Government will act in the best interest of the population if any conflict were ever to arise in the region, but stressed that speculation about war or regime change has no basis in the facts presented to Trinidad and Tobago.
He was responding at today's media briefing when asked what position the country would take if US military activity in the Southern Caribbean escalated into a conflict linked to Venezuela. Sobers said, “If it happens, trust that your Government will stand with you and we will make the best possible decision in the interest of the people of Trinidad and Tobago. That is what I can say.”
Pressed on whether Trinidad and Tobago would support any action that could lead to war, Sobers said the question “does not arise” and described it as conjecture. He noted that the deployment and movement of US vessels is entirely a matter for the United States.
