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.”
