Manning vs Chavez
Trinidad
and Tobago's Prime Minister Patrick Manning is due in Caracas
in two weeks. The talks will be center in energy,Manning is to
propose that T&T and Venezuela should supply the energy needs
of the region together, a good idea but it is against Chavez's
PetroCaribe solo effort. But that is only the excuse for Manning
accept Chavez invitation, the real reason is that Manning wants
to monetise the natural gas on both sides of their common maritime
border. For Chavez the invitation to Manning is to convince him
to let him run his PetroCaribe in exchange for signing the oil
unitization border fields agreements, however, to monetise the
venezuelan oil in Trinidad, Manning as to do a bit more than agree
in letting Chavez to do its thing with PetroCaribe. Perhaps promoting
Venezuela as the regional leader within CARICOM ?
