The PNM Women’s League has con­demned com­ments made by Op­po­si­tion Leader, Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar.

In a state­ment on Mon­day, Per­sad-Bisses­sar said the Joe Biden ad­min­is­tra­tion in the Unit­ed States had been a "dis­as­ter for the Amer­i­can peo­ple and the world."

She added that they fo­cused on push­ing "a woke, ex­treme left-wing agen­da" that of­fend­ed ba­sic com­mon sense and moral­i­ty, over­turned the norms of civilised pub­lic life, dis­ori­ent­ed and mu­ti­lat­ed chil­dren, cen­sored and can­celled dis­sent­ing views, dis­par­aged re­li­gious and con­ser­v­a­tive val­ues, fu­elled wars around the world, weaponised the ju­di­cial sys­tem against po­lit­i­cal op­po­nents and in­creased nepo­tism, cor­rup­tion, crime, pover­ty, home­less­ness, and wealth in­equal­i­ty.

A day lat­er the PNM Women's League slammed the com­ments by the Op­po­si­tion Leader, stat­ing, "This kind of rhetoric is reck­less and dam­ag­ing, not on­ly to our re­la­tion­ship with a key al­ly like the U.S, but al­so to Trinidad and To­ba­go's stand­ing on the world stage."

They said the Unit­ed States has long been an im­por­tant part­ner for T&T, of­fer­ing sup­port in se­cu­ri­ty, trade, and re­gion­al sta­bil­i­ty.

"These in­flam­ma­to­ry re­marks from Mrs. Per­sad-Bisses­sar risk un­der­min­ing that part­ner­ship and harm­ing our in­ter­na­tion­al rep­u­ta­tion.

In to­day’s in­ter­con­nect­ed world, diplo­mat­ic re­la­tions mat­ter more than ever, and such di­vi­sive state­ments do noth­ing to ad­vance our coun­try's in­ter­ests," the PNM Women's League added.

The group said Per­sad-Bisses­sar risked iso­lat­ing this coun­try with her re­marks.
