Former energy minister Stuart Young is questioning whether Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is well positioned to engage Venezuela diplomatically, raising concerns about her standing with that country’s leadership and her past statements.
Speaking at an Opposition media briefing yesterday at the Office of the Opposition Leader in Port-of-Spain, Young challenged the Prime Minister to clarify whether she recognises Delcy Rodríguez as Venezuela’s acting president and whether she remains persona non grata to the Venezuelan government.
“All of a sudden yesterday, the Prime Minister announces a diplomatic mission to Venezuela,” Young said. “The first question is: do you recognise Her Excellency Delcy Rodríguez as the current acting President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela? We still have not gotten a response.”
