Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has de­clared that Trinidad and To­ba­go will not ex­it Cari­com, even as she launched an­oth­er scathing at­tack on the re­gion­al body over what she de­scribed as a fail­ure to cor­rob­o­rate a key What­sApp mes­sage cen­tral to an on­go­ing gov­er­nance dis­pute.

Giv­en re­cent ten­sions, the con­ver­sa­tion about T&T’s pos­si­ble ex­it has re-emerged; how­ev­er, in a post to so­cial me­dia yes­ter­day, the Prime Min­is­ter un­der­scored the coun­try will not ex­it the re­gion­al bloc, stress­ing that Trinidad and To­ba­go “helped build this or­gan­i­sa­tion and will be a part of fix­ing it to ben­e­fit all the peo­ple of Cari­com.”
