FOREIGN and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has not gone missing in action since US military forces executed a covert operation on January 3, to capture and extract Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores from a fortified compound in Caracas and transport them to New York.

Maduro and Flores are expected to stand trial there on drug and several other criminal offences.

Addressing a news conference held at UNC headquarters in Chaguanas on January 4, Sobers rejected any suggestion that Persad-Bissessar has failed to address the nation directly about events leading up to and after Maduro's capture.
