Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles has described Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s criticism of Caricom as “reckless,” as she stressed the importance of strong regional ties with other Caribbean countries.
On Friday, Persad-Bissessar was critical of Caricom, as she accused the institution of being an “unreliable partner” which operated in a “dysfunctional and self-destructive” manner.
In response, Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda Gaston Browne argued that while Caricom respects the rights of individual nations to conduct their own bilateral affairs, similar consideration and respect should be given to their own approach with the United States.
