In­ter­na­tion­al re­la­tions ex­pert, Pro­fes­sor Andy Knight, is warn­ing that Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar may be “hurt­ing” Trinidad and To­ba­go’s long-term diplo­mat­ic in­ter­ests by align­ing too close­ly with Don­ald Trump, as he cau­tioned that the US leader could soon be­come a “lame duck” pres­i­dent.

Speak­ing on a Face­book Live in­ter­view with Move­ment for So­cial Jus­tice (MSJ) leader David Ab­du­lah, Knight said the Prime Min­is­ter must re­alise that Unit­ed States pres­i­dents are in­her­ent­ly tem­po­rary and po­lit­i­cal­ly con­strained.
