PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar remains unbothered amid reports that Caracas is proposing to suspend all gas agreements with TT, saying the country's future does not depend on Venezuela.
Speaking to Newsday via WhatsApp shortly after the October 27 announcement, Persad-Bissessar said the government had robust plans to grow the economy across both energy and non-energy sectors.
“The last PNM government mistakenly placed all their hopes in the Dragon project. We have not done so: therefore, we are not susceptible to any blackmail from the Venezuelans for political support,” she said.
