VENEZUELAN Vice President and Oil Minister Delcy Rodríguez has condemned Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, claiming she has aligned with the US in an aggressive campaign against Venezuela.

As a result, Rodríguez announced Venezuela will suspend and withdraw from all gas agreements with Trinidad and Tobago, originally signed in 2015 and renewed earlier this year.

At a media briefing on state television network Telesur on October 27, Rodríguez said Venezuela sought peace, solidarity and mutual development among neighbouring countries, contrasting this with what she called a US-led war for control of the region’s energy resources.
