Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she remains in support of US strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers, even as she seeks to foster a better relationship with that country’s leader, President Nicolas Maduro. On Tuesday, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio assured the Prime Minister that the Donald Trump administration supports Trinidad and Tobago’s Dragon gas project. After bilateral discussions on energy and national security, high on the agenda in Washington, DC, Secretary Rubio acknowledged the significance of the Dragon gas plan to T&T’s economic prosperity and regional stability.
He said the US support included steps to safeguard the project’s implementation and ensure that it all aligns with an Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) licence, while limiting the benefits to the Maduro administration.
