MONTEVIDEO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 10th February, 2019) The Caribbean nations are concerned about the deterioration of the situation in Venezuela through increasing use of force, and warn that a possible armed conflict in the Latin American country would generate hardship and increase the flow of people to the Caribbean countries, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Keith Christopher Rowley told Sputnik.

"Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean countries are very concerned about the worsening of the situation in Venezuela through the use a force as a corrective measure ... We understand that position is also agreed to by others who are talking," Rowley said.

Rowley added that the Venezuelan conflict directly affected both his country and all the Caribbean states because of the possible influx of Venezuelan refugees.
