AMID the Venezuelan government’s proposal on October 27 to suspend all gas agreements with Trinidad and Tobago, Prime Minster Kamla Persad Bissessar has defiantly declared that TT does not need Venezuelan gas, and never did.

“Our future does not depend on Venezuela and never has,” she told Newsday via WhatsApp. “We have our plans and projects to grow our economy both within the energy and non-energy sectors.”

Persad-Bissessar said unlike the previous administration, the government has not placed all its eggs in one basket.
