The @TheJusticeDept & @DHSgov, in coordination with the @DeptofWar today announced the seizure of
the M/V Bella 1 for violations of U.S. sanctions. The vessel was seized in the North Atlantic pursuant to a warrant issued by a U.S. federal court after being tracked by USCGC Munro.

Trinidad and Tobago looks forward to renewed cooperation and the strengthening of our longstanding friendship with the people of Venezuela in the coming years. May God guide and protect them as they transition away from years of oppression and dictatorship onto a new pathway towards democracy, justice and prosperity.

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says Trinidad and Tobago wants no part of any regional alignment that supports dictatorship or undermines national security @tttliveonline

[Kamla Persad-Bissessar @PM_Kamla]

CARICOM has aligned itself with the Maduro narco government headed by a dictator who has imprisoned or killed thousands of Venezuelans who oppose him.
Trinidad and Tobago wants no part of that alignment, we don’t support dictatorship and drug trafficking and we don’t support CARICOM in their zone of peace fakery.
Gaston and Ronald Sanders should worry less about my comments and spend more time explaining to their citizens as to why their visas were restricted.
Venezuela has been threatening to invade Guyana for years and since last June they began making similar threats that Trinidad and Tobago is a part of Venezuela.
Yet CARICOM has chosen to support the maduro narco government through the fake zone of peace narrative which is clearly designed to get the American military to leave the Caribbean region and therefore enable Maduro to remain as dictator in Venezuela.
My priority is in the best interests of the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

President Trump ordered action — and the Department of War is delivering.

Today, I’m announcing Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR.

Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and @SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people. The Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood – and we will protect it.

NOT SO FAST: The White House pushed back on media reports suggesting that President Trump was poised to strike military targets in Venezuela.

“Unnamed sources don’t know what they’re talking about,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said in a statement to FOX News Digital.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Earlier today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on yet another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Eastern Pacific.

This vessel, like all the others, was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel—and killed—during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narco-terrorists bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The Department of War will continue to hunt them down and eliminate them wherever they operate.

We are not in an IMF programme. We will not be floating the dollar at this time because we know how this will adversely affect the vulnerable and cause massive inflation. We have said this for the last 10 years. Yet the Guardian keeps wasting newsprint demanding devaluation. Why?

Honoured to receive a "special mention" at the 35th NGC CBU Awards! TTT took home 4 awards & 1 special mention. Although I didn’t win being recognized for our WHYFARM feature is more than enough. Proud to highlight Alpha Sennon’s mission to teach youth about sustainable farming.
