FOREIGN Affairs Minister Sean Sobers said people in Trinidad and Tobago have nothing to fear from the prospect of military confrontation between the United States and Venezuela.

He made the statement during a CNC3 television interview on August 22, while assuring that TT was taking no side in the stand-off which currently has the region on edge.

Initially deployed to the Southern Caribbean to fight narcotics trafficking, a US fleet of about eight warships is heading to waters off Venezuela, which is less than seven miles away from Trinidad.
