GML Cor­re­spon­dent

To­ba­go’s fish­er­folk say they are alarmed by the “deaf­en­ing si­lence” of Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine fol­low­ing the Unit­ed States’ de­struc­tion of a Venezue­lan ves­sel that left 11 peo­ple dead.

The strike took place on Sep­tem­ber 2, 2025, in the south­ern Caribbean. The U.S. claimed the ves­sel was car­ry­ing drugs and linked to the Venezue­lan gang Tren de Aragua. No one was ar­rest­ed, and no ev­i­dence has been pre­sent­ed pub­licly.
