Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor Dr Amery Browne has raised con­cerns about the Gov­ern­ment’s re­sponse to na­tion­als in the Mid­dle East amid on­go­ing con­flict.

In a state­ment on his Face­book page, Browne said na­tion­als have been ask­ing why the Gov­ern­ment has not used its al­liances to arrange op­tions for their ex­trac­tion or evac­u­a­tion. He said peo­ple in af­fect­ed coun­tries are seek­ing as­sis­tance as the sit­u­a­tion con­tin­ues.

The for­mer Min­is­ter of For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs stat­ed that the Min­is­ter is­sued bul­letins sup­port­ing the war. He said Trinidad and To­ba­go has not tak­en such a po­si­tion un­der pre­vi­ous ad­min­is­tra­tions.
