Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC says CARICOM is not a reliable partner at this time.
She issued a statement in response to a release issued by the Bureau of the Conference of Heads of Government.
She notes that the Government does not bind itself to the political ideologies or foreign, economic, and security policies of any other CARICOM member government.
She concludes that there are many widening fissures in CARICOM and, if left unaddressed, will lead to its implosion.
Our citizens, she says, can rest assured that she will always make decisions that put Trinidad and Tobago first.
