00:00At the UNC's cottage meeting in Moruga, Opposition Senator Anna Roberts spoke about the new era
00:06in the relationship between Trinidad and Tobago and the United States under the second term
00:11of U.S. President Donald Trump after the four-year tenure of former U.S. President Joe Biden.
00:18We like to go to the USA to relax and see our families, to eat food and to talk.
00:24We need to be relaxed with our visa applications, therefore we have to show the USA that foreign
00:32policy is on the ballot, that we are going to vote for Kamala Prasad-Bissetta, a woman
00:38who puts USA and Europe together.
00:42Senator Roberts spoke before the UNC's political leader.
00:46Opposition leader Kamala Prasad-Bissetta delivered the feature address.
00:49No other head of state, no other prime minister was dancing, is dancing with Maduro.
00:58And now he's talking about visa restrictions.
01:04First of all he's saying there are some people in TNT who want visa restrictions.
01:11What is the fun?
01:12You all enjoying the video?
01:13Is that what's happening?
01:17Senator Prasad-Bissetta was referring to a statement made by Prime Minister Dr. Keith
01:21Rowley on Monday regarding the most recent U.S. policy on Cuba.
01:26Out of the blue now we are being called human traffickers because we hire technical people
01:36who we pay top dollar equal to local rates but we are now being accused of taking part
01:45in the program where people are being exploited.
01:49That's somebody's interpretation.
01:51And of course there are local people here encouraging them to take away our U.S. visas.
01:59And then the opposition leader gave her version of the chorus of a popular 2025 soca song
02:05in an apparent description of the deal for the supply of natural gas from Venezuela to
02:10Trinidad and Tobago struck by the administrations of their present leaders.
02:15Worst bend over we have ever seen in history.
02:18Rowley and Maduro.
02:19It's the worst bend over we have ever seen in history.
02:24Worst ever.
02:27Worst bend over.
02:31And then he says, then he says, you know what?
02:36Talks about these visa restrictions.
02:39He said there are people here encouraging the U.S. to take away all your visas.
02:49Rowley, where is the evidence?
02:51Who are these unnamed people encouraging people to take away visas?
02:56Who are these people?
02:58The opposition leader called this quote another distraction end quote by the administration
03:04led by Prime Minister Rowley.
03:07The U.S. government is coming for them and for PNM affiliates.
03:11They know it.
03:12They know it.
03:16So as Anil told us, he now talking about if he don't ever go back to California.
03:21We're not coming from Rowley.
03:23You know something we don't know?
03:26In less than a week's time, on March 16th, Prime Minister Rowley will be retiring as
03:30the head of the government, making way for Energy Minister Stuart Young to be appointed
03:35the next Prime Minister.
