Former foreign and Caricom affairs minister Amery Browne says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is drawing TT and Caricom deeper into confrontation with her public statements in support of the US in its ongoing tensions with Venezuela.

Browne, who is also PNM vice-chairman, made these comments on September 15.

Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Caracas, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro claimed Persad-Bissessar had "lost her mind" and called for more respectful relations between both countries.
