Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has vowed to allow U.S Forces access to Trinidadian territory to defend the people of Guyana.
The Prime Minister in a statement also said her government fully supports the US Government’s deployment of American Military assets into the Caribbean region to destroy the terrorist drug cartels.
International reports confirm that the US Navy has deployed three naval destroyers with aircraft and thousands of marines to the Caribbean. The Vessels will be stationed in waters off the coast of Venezuela, in a move to counter drug trafficking allegedly linked to the Venezuelan government.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has not received any requests from the American Government for their military assets to access Trinidadian territory for any military action against the Venezuelan regime.
However, she made it clear that if Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro launches any attack against the Guyanese people or invades Guyanese territory and a request is made by the American Government for access to Trinidadian territory to defend the people of Guyana, her government will unflinchingly provide them that access.
There is an ongoing territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela over the Essequibo region.
Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar also said the deployment of American Military assets into the Caribbean region to destroy the terrorist drug cartels has the full support of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Prime Minister noted that Trinidad and Tobago has been helplessly drowning in blood and violence for the last twenty years. And said U.S Vice President J.D. Vance spoke the truth when he recently mentioned Trinidad and Tobago’s high murder and crime rates.
Mrs. Persad-Bissessar said no amount of Trump derangement syndrome tantrums and anti-American propaganda will prevent her government from welcoming assistance to combat the terrorist drug cartels.
The Prime Minister said despite the misinformation being peddled, the US military is operating legally in international waters within the region and have not breached any nations sovereignty.
She said the only persons who should be worried about the activity of the US military are those engaged in or enabling criminal activity, while law abiding citizens have nothing to fear.
