Opposition Leader warns of more “unpleasant actions” from the United States

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The main opposition People’s National Movement (PNM) Tuesday predicted that the United States would implement “other unpleasant actions’ as it blanks the request from the Trinidad and Tobago government for information on whether or not National Security Minister Austin “Jack” Warner is the subject of a probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) involving soccer’s global governing body.
Over the weekend, Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar said that Washington had not responded officially to her government’s request on the probe reported by the international news agency, Reuters last week.
“I am committed to upholding the high ethical standards which the public legitimately and rightly expects of my Government, but I am equally mindful that the commitment to the rule of law requires balance and respect for the presumption of innocence,” she said in a statement.
