00:00And in this regional context, Tobago's Chief Secretary Farley Agustin addressed on Thursday the government's support to the United States military deployment in the Caribbean, assuring if he had the authority, he would have rejected the installation of Washington's military radar and denied them access to Tobago's airport.
00:20If you have that autonomy, you have rejected the radar and the military, please?
00:24Ah, yes.
00:26You would have?
00:27Yes, I would have.
00:28Chief Secretary, excuse me, why would you have rejected it?
00:32Because at the end of the day, governance must be about one of the people of Tobago, and I'm always representing the views of Tobago.
00:39So the people of Tobago don't want it?
00:41Well, I can't say that for sure. We don't have any cent in the data. We don't have any cent in the data.
00:46Do you think it wants, sorry, sorry, but on the face of it, hey, wait, wait.
00:50But on the face of it, we have to, we have to operate from the framework where Tobago, hey, where Tobago remains a place, that Tobago and the begonias make those decisions.
01:07If you get that autonomy, would you get rid of the radar?
01:11If I have the autonomy, many things wouldn't happen anyway.
