THE United National Congress (UNC) said its leader, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, is passionate about eliminating drug trafficking and anyone calling on her to "tone down" her language is part of the problem.

It said it is in full support of her "strong and unflinching statement" in the fight against narco-trafficking in the region.

Persad-Bissessar on September 2 endorsed the USA's "lethal strike" on an alleged drug boat originating from Venezuela, saying "the US military should kill them all violently."
