00:00As the United States continues its deadly strikes against alleged narco-traffickers supposedly posing as fishermen,
00:08one Karenaj Fisherman tells CCN TV6 News.
00:12He's in full support of the United States' actions, as well as Trinidad and Tobago's decision to back the U.S.,
00:20particularly given the influx of Venezuelans into the country these past few years.
00:25Why do you feel Donald Trump come down here? Donald Trump come down here to protect the sovereignty of Trinidad and Tobago.
00:33And Ms. Kamala Pesad, I invite him, and I side him with she.
00:37Because if we don't have Donald Trump, if we don't have America to protect we, who will protect we in the Caribbean?
00:42And while the pending arrival of U.S. warship, the USS Gravely, has put many Trinbagonians on edge,
00:50Calder says he would feel safer with the U.S. military's presence.
00:54The most I feel when these warships come in here is safe, I'm being truthful, because I believe eternal war in Venezuela.
01:02Right? If you watch America, good how America is operating, you see all them boats are blowing out of the water there?
01:09It's not boats like this. If you watch them fishing boats on them there, these are boats where people just go and fish.
01:13If you watch here, we have fish. That's where men went and raised fish spots.
01:16Men went and do al-aviv. That is right in the coast. They went and looked for a living.
01:21When you catch boats in open waters out there, in the open waters, five engine, ten engine, and they're stopping to nobody,
01:28who you want them to stop to? Eh? It's drone with missile leaking them out of the water. Let me be real.
01:35However, fisherman Kevin James laments that fisherfolk are afraid to ply their trade.
01:41He's appealing to the government to assist them in supporting their families.
01:45We have no income. I don't know what they can do to help us. What the government can do to help us settle this matter.
01:53We need some kind of help.
01:55Prime Minister Kamala Passat-Bissess has urged the national community to stay calm,
02:00dismissing what she calls fear-mongering in certain quarters.
02:04However, Wanyati says YouTube has led him to believe that something bigger is brewing.
02:10If you go on YouTube, right, and you'll see what is going on there, okay?
02:14You see all YouTube are just nonsense. That is rubbish, eh?
02:17YouTube has a lot of accurate things, and they say quite a few things, right?
02:19Okay, if Trump is going to attack Venezuela, it's going to be this weekend or next week somewhere.
02:26Right? Okay? That's all on YouTube, eh?
