PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Aug 26, CMC- Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar says her administration will over the next five years implement a “Trinidad and Tobago first policy” as she remained undaunted over criticisms at her decision to support of the United States to deploy “military assets” into the Caribbean region to destroy what it described as “the terrorist drug cartels”.
Persad Bissessar, whose United National Congress (UNC) led coalition came to office following the April 28 general elections, told the CNC3 television that she remains unapologetic for her stance.
Last weekend, Persad Bissessar in a statement indicated that Port of Spain has “not engaged and has no intention of engaging” the 15-member regional integration grouping CARICOM “on this matter”.
Persad Bissessar has been accused of causing a fraction within the 15-member regional integration grouping, CARICOM, over her publicly declared statement last weekend on the matter.
