No State resources will be wasted searching the sea for bodies of Venezuelans killed by the United States military in a drug interdiction exercise last week, says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

The Prime Minister stressed Trinidad and Tobago’s duty ends with recovering any carcasses that wash ashore.

She was responding to a call by Colombian President Gustavo Petro on the Government of Trinidad and Tobago to search for the remains of the 11 men killed in a lethal strike by the US military on a vessel allegedly carrying drugs in the southern Caribbean.
