Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is facing mounting criticism at home and abroad, after her strong endorsement of Tuesday’s US military strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug vessel that killed 11 members of the Tren de Aragua cartel. And she is now being urged to watch her tone on the ongoing US action in the Caribbean.
However, Persad-Bissessar is doubling down on her call to the US to “kill them all violently, saying she has T&T citizens at heart in the matter.
After US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the strike on Tuesday, Persad-Bissessar said she had no sympathy for drug traffickers, noting ‘the slaughter of our people is fuelled by evil cartel traffickers.”
