At that press briefing, Rowley said Government disagreed with the United States' interpretation of the treaty in justifying action against Venezuela. "If we're not accepting (Juan) Guaidó as the president of Venezuela, it follows that we can't accept Guaidó's appointees at the OAS or anywhere else for that matter," Rowley said then. Noting that Venezuela was T&T closest neighbour, Rowley said his stance on the issue was in T&T's best interest, especially if things went "pear-shaped."

Black Lives Matter in Trinidad and Tobago too
"Yes, we have our own systemic institutionalised issues that we need to work on, in terms of social reform and inherited colonial legacies, but right now it's about black voices in the US and the diaspora. When we look at the process that went into ending apartheid in South Africa, it wasn't just because of what was happening in South Africa, it was about what was happening around the world and the fact that the diaspora amplified everything that was happening in South Africa at the time. So, I think it would be remiss of us as members of the black diaspora to ignore what's happening in the US."
