AG: No rift with the US

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - A release from the White House in Washington and the US Department of State to the Government of T&T recognising the valuable assistance of the Government and the Attorney General in effecting the extradition of Doreen Alexander has laid to rest speculation there is some kind of diplomatic rift between the US and T&T, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan said yesterday. Ramlogan was responding to questions from the media at the post-Cabinet press briefing that there was some distrust by US law enforcement authorities in giving information to local authorities in a FBI probe into National Security Minister Jack Warner. Noting it was not highlighted in the media, Ramlogan said the Government received the release from White House officials, which was followed up yesterday morning with another from the US Embassy.
