Roodal 6ix9ine!!!
This is not treason? Funny enough is letters such as these that will actually get us involved in this sordid mix between US and Venezuela. I hope that when they do invade Venezuela that ppl such as Moonilal and their families also volunteer to go Venezuela and give it "freedom".

As a desperate and failing Opposition Leader it has become abundantly clear that it is the UNC’s position that for them to succeed the country must fail. It matters not what they have to do to bring about such failure but fail we must according to them.
For the Opposition Leader to be out front in scaremongering and giving life to rumours that Trinidad and Tobago has dangerously broken US sanctions against Venezuela and we have failed to answer allegations of that nature is as low as Mrs Persad-Bissessar has ever gone.
To undermine the country’s foreign policy is one thing but to invite others to do so is as dastardly and disgusting as it could ever be.
To support a “President Guaidó” that is not acknowledged by CARICOM or the United Nations is one thing but to say that Trinidad and Tobago has not answered the recent allegations is a naked self- serving untruth.
I as Prime Minister, on Wednesday in the Parliament, answered a UNC question and I denied any knowledge of Trinidad and Tobago fuel business making any sales to Venezuela.
The Minister of Energy also responded saying that we sold fuel to Aruba and cannot be held responsible for the end user of that product.
The Chairman of state company Paria also explained how it has transacted business and all of these responses are clear and truthful denials.
Notwithstanding all of this the Opposition Leader in her desperation for relevance is fueling unfounded allegations against her own country in the hope that it will result in damaging sanctions which would destroy our economy and our friendly relationship with the United States.
She invites cancellation of visas and a destruction of our economy in support of her Venezuelan President of choice even as her country steadfastly rely on the rules-based Charter of the United Nations.
If this country had any doubt about who Mrs Persad-Bissessar is and whose interest she serves as Opposition Leader all one has to do is take this disturbing rant for what it is, the dishonest last gasp and gamble of a dangerously delusional woman who will sacrifice her country for a chance at the polls.

On the other hand, if KAMS win...people will crucify she mc and say she teef out all the money...
Another thing to watch is, when PNM wins (yuh see that revenue bill that's gonna be passed and Imballs done saying we need revenue by taxation, brace allyuh mc). A devaluation would also be looming.
Washington’s recognition of Guaido in 2019 led to the seizure of several Venezuelan assets abroad, including US-based oil subsidiary CITGO, valued at US $7 billion, which was later passed to a Guaido-appointed ad hoc board of directors. In 2018, 14 tonnes of Venezuelan gold worth US $550 million were likewise held by the Bank of England.

Seeing some advocating for sanctions for the country, so what's the plan further cripple the already crippled economy as a means of catapulting themselves into office? So does the U.S. Ambassador now write a letter instructing the Speaker of the House to let Moonilal speak? How do they reconcile the then and now btw?

THE EDITOR: It is disingenuous for UNC parliamentarian Dr Roodal Moonilal to continue to peddle the claim that House Speaker Bridgid Annisette-George stood in the way of the Opposition to debate the covid19 pandemic. Anyone with even limited experience in parliamentary procedures would dismiss the claim by the goodly doctor.
Moonilal would have us believe that the Opposition can only raise matters affecting the country under Standing Order 17 – Definite Matter of Urgent Public Importance. This is not so. Such matters can also be raised under Standing Order 16 – Matters on the Adjournment.
If the Opposition wants to use Standing Order 16, it must give advance notice of three days to the Speaker. However, if the matter is urgent and the Opposition wishes to have it debated under Standing Order 17, it can trigger sub-section (4)(b).
SO 17 (4)(b) states, inter alia, “…if leave is not granted, at least 11 members rise in their place to support the request the motion shall stand over until 6 pm on the same day and at the same time any proceedings on which the House is engaged shall be postponed until the motion for the adjournment is disposed of or until 7 pm.”
This is the current Standing Orders of the House amended on March 14, 2014 and June 6, 2015, while Moonilal was a Member of the House. Why was it not used by the Opposition?
Moonilal would no doubt recall that on March 6, 2010, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar had used the said SO 17 to call for then Udecott chairman Calder Hart to be fired. She deemed it to be definite, urgent and of public importance. However, then Speaker Barry Sinanan disallowed the request.
At that stage Opposition members stood in their places in support of the request. But they could only muster nine members because both Basdeo Panday and Kelvin Ramnath refused to stand up in support. Persad-Bissessar’s motion failed.
Apart from those two Standing Orders, the Opposition could have raised their concerns during question time; urgent questions to the Prime Minister or even a motion on Private Members’ Day. It is left to speculation as to why Moonilal and Opposition members did not pursue these avenues. Perhaps It would not have assisted their negative narrative.
Observing the Opposition’s uninspiring response to this national emergency, I am wondering what they could have offered differently to what the Dr Keith Rowley government is doing to keep this deadly virus at bay. Rowley has provided calm, deliberate and positive leadership in this crucial time. Can we expect the same from the Opposition?

Its good thing that the TT government is not shipping gas to a NARCO state in violation of US sanctions while an erratic US president who LOVES to punish countries with trade tariffs is in office..cause you know that might be bad.

A friend in DC was just telling me that most Trinis (including myself) didn't realize that by allowing Delcy Rodriguez into the Country, T&T violated the Inter American Treaty of Reciprocal Assitance. Travel restrictions on Delcy and others were imposed in December 2019 and approved by the majority vote. Restrictions were binding on all signatories-including T&T.
So TT was willing to violate a binding treaty to facilitate Delcy-but, of course, it had nothing to do with shipping gas to Venezuela.

Any consequences for violating this treaty?
