PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says Trinidad and Tobago fully supports US President Donald Trump's war against drug cartels and criminal gangs in the Western Hemisphere.
Persad-Bissessar said this threat demands that TT and all democracy-loving nations fight fire with fire within the boundaries of the law.
To this end, she pledged TT's support for a US, Panama-led initiative to create a gang suppression force GSF) to combat criminal gangs in Haiti.
