Three months after Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar declared the Dragon gas deal “dead” —and five months after revoking two Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) licences to explore the Dragon and Cocuina-Manakin fields in Venezuelan waters—the United States government has reversed its decision.
The development came following a high-level meeting between Persad-Bissessar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the State Department in Washington, DC, yesterday.
In a video uploaded to the United National Congress’ Facebook page shortly after the meeting, Persad-Bissessar described the talks as “very important discussions for bilateral interests” and hinted that positive developments would be announced soon.
