Caricom, as a bloc, is an unreliable partner, having remained silent in the face of aggression from Venezuela against Trinidad and Tobago and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

This is according to Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs Sean Sobers, who pointed out that only Jamaica and Guyana have expressed concern over acts of aggression by the regime of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Responding to questions from the Express on Sunday, Sobers said he stands firmly with the Prime Minister’s declaration that Caricom is an unreliable partner, stating that Caricom’s failure has exposed deep-rooted fractures within the regional body.
