PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – The Trinidad and Tobago government is questioning the decision by France to blacklist the oil-rich twin island republic over claims that Port of Spain does not help investigate foreign aid fraud. Paris this week announced that Trinidad and Tobago and Dominica were the only two Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries included in the list of nations. France said it would also be banning the use of their banks to help distribute development funds. Aides to Development Minister Pascal Canfin were unable to say how much French foreign aid currently transits via banks in the countries featured on the new blacklist.
