Trinidad and Tobago mulls 'mass deportation' of migrants in row with Venezuela
- On Tuesday, Venezuela's National Assembly voted to declare Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, persona non grata, barring her from entering Venezuela.
- Backing the US deployment, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, applauded the US military build-up and bombing campaign, saying she was 'happy' with its success, straining ties with Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela.
- The US campaign has involved seven warships, a submarine, drones and fighter jets, at least 13 strikes against 14 maritime vessels, and an estimated 57 people killed.
- On Monday, Nicolás Maduro, President of Venezuela, suspended a major gas deal with Trinidad and Tobago, accusing Kamla Persad-Bissessar of turning the nation `into an aircraft carrier of the American empire`, while Trinidad and Tobago considered a `mass deportation` of undocumented migrants, most Venezuelans.
- Legal experts have argued that the US strikes are `illegal and completely immoral`, with some observers suggesting they aim to destabilise Maduro after last year's re-election.
