PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar is optimistic that a US-led governance structure in Venezuela will help to strengthen relations between Trinidad and Tobago and the South American nation.

She made the statement in a post on her Facebook page on January 3, minutes after US President Donald Trump addressed a news conference announcing that the country’s military forces had attacked Caracas, Venezuela’s capital city, and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.

Trump told reporters the US will run Venezuela in the wake of the military strike.
