OPPOSITION Senator Dr Amery Browne accused the government of ditching TT's long-established positions on foreign policy to now simply mimic that of another country (thought to be the US.) He was addressing a briefing the Port of Spain office of Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles on November 4. He began by quoting a UN spokesman saying the US military's recent obliteration of several purported drug-boats (with the killing of about 60 people abroad) was a violation of international principles of human rights.

Browne dubbed the government's foreign policy as "inauthentic and unrepresentative," but a mere mimic of talking points and a narrative taken from elsewhere.

"She has farmed out our foreign policy to foreign shores."
