PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has accused the PNM of creating a daily disinformation campaign in an attempt "to protect their drug mafia financiers."

In a release on October 24, the Office of the Prime Minister hailed the visit of the USS Gravely warship to TT, from October 26-30, and said the PNM is overtly attempting to undermine efforts to stop drug, arms and human trafficking into TT.

“For far too long, our open and poorly secured borders have facilitated the trafficking of humans, drugs, and firearms. Tens of thousands of illegal migrants have entered our country, and over 10,000 citizens have been brutally murdered in the last two decades.
