Rowley Challenges UNC on Visa Claims | Trinidad and Tobago News

Former PM Keith Rowley is firing back at the UNC, demanding they name the specific offense that would justify the U.S. revoking his and Stuart Young’s visas — insisting their earlier calls for sanctions were baseless unless grounded in actual wrongdoing. He accuses the UNC of trying to curry favor with Washington by attacking his government’s Venezuela ties, while also criticizing the current administration for falsely claiming credit for energy projects he initiated. Analysts are split: Dr. Bishnu Ragoonath backs Rowley’s right to question the UNC but admits the U.S. visa decision remains opaque, while Dr. Shane Mohammed warns Rowley’s framing could backfire, suggesting his questioning might imply the visas were revoked — and that today’s Venezuela strategy is fundamentally different from past dealings. Ultimately, Mohammed sees the whole debate as politically manufactured, since no visa has actually been revoked — making Rowley’s stance seem like a distraction without real substance.
