FISHERMEN in central and south Trinidad are voicing growing fears as Venezuela intensifies its military presence near the north-western coast of Trinidad, amid heightened tensions between the South American country and the US.
Imtiaz Khan, president of the Carli Bay Fishing Association, said his members remain on edge, warning that “this country cannot handle any war.”
He said fishermen in central Trinidad have been extra cautious since the 2019 pirate attack that left seven fishermen from Orange Valley and nearby communities dead.
