Saint Lucia opposition leader Allen Chastanet has responded to Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley's rejection of his proposed measures to address crime in the Caribbean.
"No thanks Tropical Trump," Rowley declared in response to Chastanet's proposals.
Chastanet presented the anti-crime proposals at an opposition United National Congress (UNC) town hall meeting in Trinidad and Tobago.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Saint Lucia politician reiterated that one of the ways the region can deal with crime and its crippling effects on the economy, society, and the region's people, is by jointly tackling the problem together.
According to Chastanet, it was clear that individual approaches were not working.
" I urge the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, who is also the lead Prime Minister on Crime in Caricom, to take my remarks in the spirit in which they were intended – which was not an individual criticism," the former Saint Lucia Prime Minister stated.
Instead, Chastanet explained that his remarks constituted a collective call to action.
