Even with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro now a prisoner of the United States, fishermen in South Trinidad say they will still be exercising caution out at sea.
Steve Mohammed, a fisherman for over three decades, said the situation could still bring challenges.
Speaking with Guardian Media at King’s Wharf in San Fernando yesterday, hours after Maduro and his wife were captured by US forces and taken to New York, Mohammed said, “Basically it will be the same, more or less, and maybe more worse. Let’s say they (US) don’t go back and they not bombing up, we will venture more out. I don’t know, but time will tell. If the economy is bad there (Venezuela), the fishermen will come out not looking for fish but anything they can get as prey. They have more artillery than we.”
