Venezuela’s Justice Minister Critiques Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister’s Comments

Venezuela’s Justice Minister, Diosdado Cabello, has described the actions of Trinidad and Tobago as “shameful,” following a statement from Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. She indicated that the U.S. could be allowed to access Trinidad and Tobago’s territory in the event of a Venezuelan attack on Guyana. Cabello criticized both the Prime Minister and the country’s leadership, suggesting that citizens of Trinidad and Tobago must feel embarrassed by their leaders’ decisions. This condemnation adds to a series of recent attacks from Cabello, who has previously referred to Persad-Bissessar as “crazy” and accused Trinidad and Tobago of harboring individuals intent on destabilizing Venezuela. Such remarks highlight the ongoing tensions between the two nations as they navigate complex diplomatic relations.
