Former police commissioner Gary Griffith has urged Trinidad and Tobago to put aside political divisions and prepare for possible fallout from the growing standoff between the United States and Venezuela.
In a video message sent via WhatsApp on October 28, Griffith said the public debate over the situation had “degenerated into pure political bacchanal,” warning that both citizens and government must focus on unity and readiness rather than blame or propaganda.
“We are facing a serious geopolitical situation now. Instead of pulling each other down, this country needs to unite. Now is not the time for pettiness or propaganda.”
