Venezuela’s Defence Minister, General Vladimir Padrino López, has strongly condemned the Government of Trinidad and Tobago over recent statements by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who said her administration would allow the United States to use T&T as a base if Venezuela attacked Guyana.
Speaking at a media briefing in Caracas yesterday, Padrino López accused T&T of aligning itself with Washington’s agenda against Venezuela. His remarks followed comments made on Sunday, when he claimed that “Trinidadian mafias” were destabilising Venezuela through human trafficking and other illegal activities.
