Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar ‘went crazy,’ threatening to authorise attacks out of the country’s territory on Venezuela.

Speaking at a press conference moments ago, Maduro said that the Prime Minister's recent statements read like a declaration of war against Venezuela and that he was certain the people of the country were against it.

“The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago went crazy, she went crazy because she was threatening that she was going to authorize attacks from Trinidad and Tobago against Venezuela. That is like declaring war against Venezuela,” he said.
