Combatting crime, human and narco-trafficking is a top foreign policy priority of the United States government, according to an official from the United States Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago.
Responding to questions from Guardian Media following a meeting between US Ambassador Candace Bond, Mayaro MP Rushton Paray and other law enforcement professionals last Monday, the US official reiterated the US government’s commitment to combating crime and supporting the rule of law in the region.
“Combatting crime and supporting the rule of law is a top foreign policy priority of the US government in Trinidad and Tobago.
