In a hard-hit­ting ad­dress to fel­low Cari­com lead­ers, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar de­liv­ered a force­ful de­fence of her un­wa­ver­ing sup­port for Unit­ed States Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump, while sharply re­buk­ing mem­bers of the re­gion­al bloc for what she de­scribed as po­lit­i­cal in­ter­fer­ence across the re­gion and their fail­ure to con­front Venezuela in de­fence of Guyana.

De­liv­er­ing an ad­dress at the 50th Reg­u­lar Meet­ing of the Con­fer­ence of Heads of Gov­ern­ment of Cari­com in St Kitts and Nevis yes­ter­day evening, the Prime Min­is­ter start­ed her speech by pledg­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go’s sup­port for Cari­com.
