00:00I don't expect CARICOM as a unit to take a position because of the whole unanimity clause,
00:24whereby if one says no, in this case Trinidad and Tobago most likely, there will not be a united position.
00:35Jamaica will not take any position against it.
00:50They will say it's drug enforcement and the United States is there for drug enforcement.
00:56Jamaica will not take, and if they even follow CARICOM, they will call Mr. Marco Rubio and say, look here.
01:06The majority of countries vote in this way, and we were forced to be part of signing.
01:13So don't expect much from Jamaica.
01:17In fact, don't expect much from the Caribbean because they are under tremendous political and economic pressure from the USA.
01:26What this does is opens the floor for CARICOM, CELAC, OECS and ALBA together and the political parties to come together
01:46and do more than just take middle of the road or stand by positions in so far as the Guyana-Venezuela issue.
01:57Because in the case of Guyana and Venezuela, both have been good to CARICOM.
02:04Venezuela has been good to CARICOM.
02:06What we are not seeing sufficiently is that the historic Seven Sisters in the United States and Europe
02:26are once again setting the stage to be able to continue controlling the energy resources of the Caribbean
02:35in bigger ways than ever.
02:37And I think we need to be able to take all of those into consideration when we consider where we go from here.
