FORMER prime minister Dr Keith Rowley believes the UNC has lit a match in the Caribbean by openly supporting the US naval deployment in the southern Caribbean Sea outside of Venezuela's territorial waters.

Rowley said this could have far reaching implications for Trinidad and Tobago and Caricom.

Rowley reposted a Facebook comment from Michael Edmund Dhanny on August 25 which called Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar's statement on the US-Venezuela tensions, "the most reckless foreign policy statement we’ve seen in years."
