Se­nior Po­lit­i­cal Re­porter

Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor Dr Amery Browne has urged Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to clear­ly out­line Trinidad and To­ba­go’s for­eign pol­i­cy and ap­proach to re­la­tions with the cur­rent Del­cy Ro­driguez ad­min­is­tra­tion in neigh­bour­ing Venezuela. So far, the Gov­ern­ment has re­mained silent on its po­si­tion.

The call comes af­ter Venezue­lan Ex­ec­u­tive Vice Pres­i­dent Del­cy Ro­driguez was sworn in as Pres­i­dent of the Bo­li­var­i­an Re­pub­lic of Venezuela on Mon­day. Ro­driguez as­sumed of­fice fol­low­ing the US cap­ture last Sat­ur­day of Venezue­lan leader Nico­las Maduro and his wife Cil­ia Flo­res, who ap­peared be­fore Man­hat­tan courts on Mon­day fac­ing drug and weapons charges.
