Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister has taken a firm and unapologetic stance in support of the United States, openly challenging CARICOM member states over their positions on Venezuela and Cuba, according to Antigua.news.
In remarks that have drawn regional attention, the Prime Minister defiantly declared "Who Vex Loss" — a Caribbean colloquialism signalling indifference to critics — as he doubled down on his pro-US alignment and directed sharp criticism at fellow CARICOM nations regarding their relationships with the two controversial governments.
As reported by Antigua.news, the comments represent a notable escalation in the Prime Minister's public positioning on issues that have long been a source of tension within the regional bloc. His willingness to openly confront CARICOM partners marks a significant moment in Caribbean geopolitics, where member states have historically sought to maintain a degree of diplomatic consensus.
The Prime Minister's remarks signal a clear departure from the careful balancing act many Caribbean leaders have adopted when navigating relations between Washington and left-leaning governments in Havana and Caracas. His statements are expected to provoke strong responses from across the region, particularly from those nations that have maintained close ties with Venezuela and Cuba.
