The Op­po­si­tion Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) claimed vin­di­ca­tion af­ter years of warn­ing the PNM Gov­ern­ment against “get­ting in bed” with the Maduro ad­min­is­tra­tion on en­er­gy deals. The re­vo­ca­tion of li­cences by the US for the Drag­on Gas and Cocuina Man­akin fields has, ac­cord­ing to the UNC, left for­mer Prime Min­is­ter Kei­th Row­ley and cur­rent Prime Min­is­ter Stu­art Young’s “cuck­oo cooked.”

UNC’s Tabaquite can­di­date Sean Sobers and Ca­roni Cen­tral can­di­date David Lee made the state­ments at Tues­day's UNC meet­ing in Mara­bel­la.

Ear­li­er that day, Young an­nounced the US had re­voked Trinidad and To­ba­go’s OFAC li­cences for both en­er­gy fields. The de­vel­op­ment dom­i­nat­ed the UNC’s plat­form that evening.
