The United States Embassy in Port of Spain has given a detailed breakdown of the financial assistance given to several organizations in Trinidad and Tobago to assist with Venezuelan migrants living in the country.
On Sunday, the Embassy said the United States is the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance for the Venezuela regional crisis and has contributed more than $1.2 billion to the cause since 2017 alone, including over $11 million to support Trinidad and Tobago’s efforts in helping Venezuelans living in the country.
In response, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley questioned to whom the $11 million was paid.
