Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar con­firmed that she met of­fi­cials of the U.S. Em­bassy yes­ter­day, fol­low­ing the more than $171 mil­lion drug bust in the Ca­roni Swamp.

She cred­it­ed the radar sys­tem in­stalled by the Unit­ed States in To­ba­go for help­ing of­fi­cers de­tect and in­ter­cept the ship­ment.

“To­day, I met with some of­fi­cials from the U.S. Em­bassy this evening be­fore I came. That’s not in my script, but I can share it. Us­ing the radar that we in­stalled in To­ba­go, we were able to­day to drug-bust $171 mil­lion worth of il­le­gal drugs in Trinidad and To­ba­go. I share that with you,” she said.
