Prime Minister Keith Rowley revealed at a Press Conference on Friday (2nd February, 2024), that international crime syndicates are showing interest in Trinidad and Tobago, a development he noted as very concerning.
Prime Minister Rowley held the Press Conference at Whitehall in Port-of-Spain following his three-day visit to Washington, DC, where he met with United States representatives and officials, including Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken. According to the Prime Minister, “We also met with officials of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation). We do have some problems in Trinidad and Tobago here which I will not burden you with today...given the nature of our relationship with the United States, the resources of the FBI and the CIA were made available to us to deal with our own internal problems. We are now attracting elements of international organized crime, which is very concerning to the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, so we are discussing this with the United States to get as much help as we can in ensuring that our bad situation is not worsened by these developments...certain criminals are liking us and these are not small-timers.” He said there is also pending legislation regarding firearms trafficking between the United States and the Caribbean, which can assist in reducing illegal firearm-related crimes in the region. More on this as it becomes available. [Source: Loop] We are a small operation. If you've found our articles to be informative, please consider supporting us via PayPal or buying us a coffee.
