But as the joke that we are... The speaker if the house refused the question. The US press published an article citing the issue and talked about investigations. Still our Govt quiet.
The letter was then sent to the US embassy...with the same questions that never got answered.
If the PNM is so righteous then just clear the air and speak the truth. Instead they want to spin the whole thing to blame the opposition.
The allegations are even more damning since there is now cocaine in the mix. What is our Govt really getting themselves involved in?
Then I am seeing this on FB this morning...
A lesson i learnt while giving Evidence on behalf of the State many Years ago in the Arima Magistrate Court before then Magistrate Reynold Waldropt;
"An Opinion is Personal and not subjected to be Shared, but when Beliefs are formed that would be another Opinion that can be divulged"
English Translation to the Article attached:
Caracas, April 21, 2020. The journalist Maibort Petit explained in a thread published on the Twitter social network, the results of Delcy Rodríguez's trip to the island of Trinidad and Tobago. Ensuring that it was due to the purchase of gasoline.
"The results of Delcy Rodríguez's trip to Trinidad? The ALDAN ship rented by PDV Marina loaded 92 and 95 gasoline at the Paria terminal in Trinidad. PDVSA internal sources point out the business done by Wilmer Ruperti in this regard and that the destination would be Venezuela, ”Petit wrote.
He pointed out that Paria Fuel Trading Company (Ex-Petrotrin), a Trinidadian company that loaded the gasoline, would be serving as a purchase bridge to other countries to be taken to Venezuela.
PS; this is what was reported in a Foreign Newspaper and it is different from is being told to us, LOOK AT DATE OF ARTICLE

Dumas 'scandalised' by Moonilal's letter to US envoy
Corey Connelly
Retired head of the public service Reginald Dumas says he is "deeply disappointed and scandalised" by UNC MP Dr Roodal Moonilal's letter to the US ambassador about the alleged sale of fuel from Paria Trading Fuel Company to Venezuela.
The Prime Minister, who has condemned Moonilal's action, denied any knowledge of TT making fuel sales to Venezuela.
Speaking to Newsday on Tuesday, Dumas said as someone who spent much of his working life representing TT, "I have to say I was deeply disappointed and scandalised by that letter, because you do not involve foreign governments in your internal affairs. "If the US wishes to investigate, then it will investigate, and it will approach the government of TT and say 'Could you tell us your side of the story?'"
Dumas called Moonilal's action as "out of place." He said as an Opposition MP, Moonilal should never have run to the US Government "giving the impression he is already siding with them and that the TT Government behaved in an illegal way. He does not know that that is so.
" And you do not, in any case, on your own, involve foreign governments and foreign powers in your affairs."
Dumas said if the Opposition is free to criticise the Government.
"But you must not run before any investigation is done, find the government guilty by saying that what they did was illegal, and call on the US Government, in essence, to intervene in our internal affairs. You do not do that."
Dumas said he was certain Moonilal wrote the letter to ambassador Joseph Mondello with the consent of Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
Dumas said if, in fact, the TT Government did turn a blind eye to the true destination of the shipment, knowing there are US sanctions against countries that trade with Venezuela, "then that is a government that will need to be examined very carefully, especially in an election year."
But he said at this point there is no evidence to suggest this was deliberate.
Dumas also said he is not "entirely comforted" by Energy Minister Franklin Khan's statement that the oil was sold to Aruba.
"I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, but there has to be some more digging and investigation."

I would pay close attention to body language or any bit and piece of info you can dig up from it because that would be the time we as a people need to wake up and take decisive action for our own sake. This is far from over and whether you see things through a red or yellow lense, all of us in this melting pot of T&T together. Peter could end up paying for Paul. Do not play games with the US.

Trinidad people easy to manipulate and fool...everything they did for COVID has had a political undertone and some was blatant like hampers in red balisier printed bags.
They have been doing background campaigning and they know that all the voting masses would see is free ting giving out and ah get to stay home with pay. Plus they get a good few opportunities to jab at the opposition... it will be a gamble, but an early election would be very interesting.
After all they have to capitalize on all that "free" COVID media air time and funding... it come like they run a 3 month campaign while the opposition was held at bay.
