Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced yesterday that Trinidad and Tobago will be realigning its foreign policy.

She said her Government no longer views Caricom as a reliable partner.

“I do not consider Caricom a reliable partner and over the next couple years there will be a significant realignment of our foreign policy. These changes are necessary for improving our economic and physical security,” said Persad-Bissessar as she responded to questions from the Express about Government’s isolated stance in support of the United States’ war on drug cartels.
