Former Prime Minister Keith Rowley is tearing into the current leader over her foreign policy stance. He called Kamla Persad-Bissessar the most unpatriotic and incompetent leader he has seen since independence. His attack focused on her recent comments distancing Trinidad and Tobago from CARICOM and warning citizens not to criticize the United States. Rowley accused her of reducing the nation to a vassal state, taking secret orders from abroad, just to keep visa access.
He said publicly withdrawing from regional positions is dangerously close to fifth-column activity, calling it a betrayal of sovereignty. Rowley also criticized her lack of transparency, alleging she has militarized the country without explaining agreements made with American officials. He slammed her for avoiding media questions and labeling public scrutiny as anti-American. He concluded by saying the situation looks bad for the country's future, adding to the major regional split her original comments caused.
