THE Venezuelan government has immediately terminated all energy ties with Trinidad and Tobago, after accusing government of knowing about the US military's interception of an oil tanker reportedly headed to Cuba from Venezuela on December 10.
Venezuela announced the cancellation in a statement on December 15, which was shared on the Facebook page of Venezuelan Vice-President Delcy Rodriguez.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal have dismissed the statement, reiterating that TT has nothing to fear with respect to its energy security.
