Energy Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal says the recent high-level visit by US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, is a positive move for T&T. Responding to criticism by the Opposition over the lack of transparency and timing of his visit, amidst escalating tensions with Venezuela, Moonilal said he did not want to speak “too much” on that matter, as the specifics lay with the Prime Minister and the ministers with responsibility for law enforcement.
“These are matters of national security, and I will leave those matters to be dealt with by the Prime Minister and relevant law enforcement ministers. But I can say it augurs well for the country that such a high-level, and possibly the highest-level military command of the United States government has visited this country and is having talks on regional security and the threats we face in the Caribbean as a whole by narco-traffickers, human traffickers and the drug cartels and so on.
