Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar denied that the United States had asked to use her country as a staging ground for military action against Venezuela, rejecting speculation fueled by ongoing U.S. Marine exercises in the archipelago.
"The United States NEVER asked to use our territory to launch attacks against the people of Venezuela," Persad Bissessar said. "The territory of Trinidad and Tobago will NOT be used to launch attacks against the people of Venezuela."
