THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine said he is not concerned by the rising tension between US and Venezuela nor the blowing up of boats allegedly carrying illegal drugs in the southern Caribbean.

Augustine broke his silence on the issue on September 16 while speaking to the media at the opening of the Kilgyn/ Store Bay Local Road/Friendship connector road.

On September 2, a US missile strike destroyed a pirogue allegedly heading from Venezuela to Trinidad with illegal drugs. All 11 people aboard were killed. Another boat was blown up on September 15 and three alleged traffickers were killed.
