Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs has reiterated the Government’s support for the US military intervention in the region,

To date, an estimated 32 people have been killed in the US seven strikes on alleged drug vessels, among them two Trinidadians.

In a media release yesterday, the ministry said the US operations were aimed at combating narco and human trafficking and transnational crime which it says would make the region a ‘true zone of peace’- a term which Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said was a false ideal when speaking at the UN General Assembly last month.
