The Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent has re­ject­ed what it de­scribes as im­prop­er in­sin­u­a­tions cir­cu­lat­ing on so­cial me­dia re­gard­ing an al­leged fi­nan­cial arrange­ment, in­sist­ing that Pres­i­dent Chris­tine Kan­ga­loo acts strict­ly with­in the con­sti­tu­tion­al frame­work of Trinidad and To­ba­go.

In a state­ment is­sued on April 25, 2026, the Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent said it had tak­en note of a pub­li­ca­tion mak­ing claims it con­sid­ers dam­ag­ing to the in­tegri­ty of the of­fice. The pub­li­ca­tion, Un­wind TT, ref­er­enced a re­port­ed US$500 mil­lion loan arrange­ment through se­cured notes due in 2040, as men­tioned in the Au­di­tor Gen­er­al Re­port 2025, laid in Par­lia­ment on April 24.

The Of­fice re­ject­ed any sug­ges­tion that the Pres­i­dent is “the au­thor, ar­chi­tect, or wrong­do­er in re­spect of any trans­ac­tion in­volv­ing the State”, adding that pres­i­den­tial func­tions are car­ried out in ac­cor­dance with the Con­sti­tu­tion and the laws of the Re­pub­lic.
