The swift de­por­ta­tion of 160 Venezue­lans by the Min­istry of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty late Sat­ur­day came on the cusp of a planned meet­ing be­tween Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley and Venezuela‘s Pres­i­dent Nicholas Maduro. The de­por­ta­tion al­so fol­lows the fi­as­co last week in which 27 Venezue­lans, in­clud­ing 16 mi­nors, were es­cort­ed back to Venezuela on the or­der of this Gov­ern­ment last Sun­day, on­ly to re­turn two days lat­er.

That in­ci­dent, which has at­tract­ed in­ter­na­tion­al head­lines, prompt­ed Maduro to re­quest a meet­ing with the T&T Gov­ern­ment to ad­dress mat­ters of «se­cu­ri­ty, hu­man mo­bil­i­ty, crime, and drug traf­fick­ing,» ac­cord­ing to a tweet post­ed by Venezuela‘s For­eign Af­fairs Min­is­ter Jorge Ar­reaza four days ago. The time and de­tails of that meet­ing are yet to be ironed out.
