Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has cautioned citizens to be vigilant against the spread of misinformation, following a public rebuttal by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of a CNN report claiming that the United Kingdom was withholding intelligence sharing over America’s regional anti-drug operations.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday, Persad-Bissessar described the report as part of “blatant attempts to undermine ongoing efforts to confront narco-traffickers and organised crime.”
“Once again, US Secretary of State @SecRubio has refuted a false report published in the international media, a story that was irresponsibly repeated by some local outlets and presented to our citizens as fact. There are blatant attempts to undermine ongoing efforts to confront narco-traffickers and organised crime. My Government remains steadfast in its partnership with the United States as we take decisive, coordinated action to stem the flow of drugs, guns, and human trafficking into T&T,” she said.
