FORMER prime minister Dr Keith Rowley has raised concerns about Trinidad and Tobago’s current position on the international stage, warning the country is exposed to economic and security risks due to what he described as reckless governance and ill-informed decisions.

He derided Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for saying the country “doesn’t need Venezuelan gas,” describing it as a throwaway comment with far-reaching implications for the nation’s energy security.

Persad-Bissessar's remark was made on October 27, amid the Venezuelan government’s proposal to suspend all gas agreements with Trinidad and Tobago.
