By Abby Rogers<\/a>, AFP and Reuters-<\/strong> Venezuela has declared Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s prime minister a persona non grata, as the two countries continue to feud over United States military activity in the Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Venezuela\u2019s National Assembly voted in favour of the sanction against Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who has been sparring with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. It designates her as unwelcome in the country and bars her from entering.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Asked a day earlier about the prospect, Persad-Bissessar told the news agency AFP: \u201cWhy would they think I would want to go to Venezuela?\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The two countries \u2013 separated by a small bay just 11km (7 miles) wide at its narrowest point \u2013 have been at loggerheads in recent weeks over the US military activity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persad-Bissessar is one of the few Caribbean leaders to applaud the build-up of US military forces in the Caribbean as well as its bombing campaign against alleged drug-trafficking boats.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI, along with most of the country, am happy that the US naval deployment is having success in their mission,\u201d Persad-Bissessar said<\/a> shortly after the first missile strike was announced on September 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have no sympathy for traffickers; the US military should kill them all, violently.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But that stance has put her at odds with Maduro\u2019s government. Just this week, Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs Yvan Gil Pinto told the United Nations General Assembly that the US strikes were an \u201cillegal and completely immoral<\/a> military threat hanging over our heads\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Legal experts have compared the bombing campaign with extrajudicial killings, citing likely violations of international law. At least 13 strikes<\/a> have occurred so far against 14 maritime vessels, most of them small boats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An estimated 57 people have been killed in the US attacks. Their identities are unknown, and no definitive evidence has been provided to the public so far to link them to drug trafficking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Relations frayed over US strikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Labelling Persad-Bissessar a persona non grata is just the latest chapter in the tit-for-tat between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, AFP reported that Trinidad and Tobago was considering a \u201cmass deportation\u201d of undocumented migrants, most of whom are Venezuelans, from its territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a memorandum reviewed by the news agency, Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s homeland security minister, Roger Alexander, ordered a halt to any planned releases of \u201cillegal immigrants\u201d in detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsideration is currently being given to the implementation of a mass deportation exercise,\u201d the memo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That comes after Maduro ordered the \u201cimmediate suspension\u201d<\/a> of a major gas deal with Trinidad and Tobago on Monday, citing the island nation\u2019s reception of a US warship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island is hosting one of several US warships deployed near Venezuelan waters by President Donald Trump. Venezuelan officials have accused the US president of seeking to overturn Maduro\u2019s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cancelling the gas deal, Maduro accused Persad-Bissessar of transforming the Caribbean nation \u201cinto an aircraft carrier of the American empire against Venezuela\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon has so far deployed seven warships<\/a>, a submarine, drones and fighter jets to the Caribbean, as well as another warship to the Gulf of Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rate of the US bombing campaign has increased in recent weeks, with six strikes announced over the last week alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its scope has also broadened, with strikes taking place this month in the Eastern Pacific Ocean near Colombia, as well as the Caribbean waters off Venezuela\u2019s shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some observers believe the Trump administration is using the US military to pressure and destabilise Maduro, who was re-elected last year in what the US has dismissed as a fraudulent election<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persad-Bissessar, however, has been steadfast in her support of the US campaign, saying she would rather see drug traffickers \u201cblown to pieces\u201d than have them contribute to deaths in her country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
