Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne issued a strongly worded Facebook post on May 10, criticising Trinidad and Tobago's Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs, Sean Sobers, over recent comments regarding the disappearance of a Trinidadian national.

In his post, Browne wrote, “You have no moral authority to condemn our beautiful country. Instead, you should focus on the exponential increase in crime in your home country.”

His remarks came in response to a Newsday editorial titled Antigua’s Anguish published on May 7, which stated, "Mr Sobers, in one of his first official acts, has instructed civil servants to seek vital updates."
