Chief Secretary Farley Augustine says he supports the Government's stand on the situation involving the United States, Venezuela and this country.
Transcript
00:00This government has adopted some positions with regards to America's positioning within the Caribbean region and international waters, might I add, and so we have no choice but to respect the government's decision therein.
00:19Mr. Agustin's advice to Tobago fisherfolk following the blowing up of several vessels by the United States, fish within Trinidad and Tobago's waters.
00:30I have said before through you to our people, to our fishers, that really and truly we should be operating within our waters, not international waters, not home by anybody else.
00:42I don't know why people will want to be in another country without going through the former channels.
00:49He says it remains safe to fish in Trinidad and Tobago's waters.
00:54As far as I am aware and as far as the space is, it is still safe to fish within Trinidad and Tobago waters and I hope that that's what our people will do.
01:08In so far as the security alert, the U.S. must know why they raised their alert for their facilities, their properties here in Trinidad and Tobago.
01:21The TTPS has said that they are also on high alert and they are monitoring and I think the best we can do at this point is to monitor what's happening, keeping the know and to act accordingly.
