T&T has pledged its support to the people of Venezuela amidst escalating tensions between the U.S. and the Maduro regime. Acting Foreign Affairs Minister Barry Padarath has clarified this support will not extend to an open-border policy. The Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has committed to standing with the Venezuelan people in the event of a humanitarian crisis. This commitment comes as tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela increase, following collapsed negotiations. Padarath emphasized that T&T will adhere to legal migration processes. Amidst concerns that an escalation in conflict could push more Venezuelans to flee, advocates are urging the government to clarify what ‘legal migration’ implies, given the potential security and socioeconomic challenges.
