Following the visit by United States’ Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the main opposition APNU+AFC last evening cautioned that Guyana should avoid being “boxed in” by diplomatic and trade agreements with any one “global superpower” and urged that it instead build and strengthen various alliances.
The coalition also stressed that while Guyana values its relationship with the United States, there is no desire to be part of the expected “October surprise.”
“We must not find ourselves with egg on our face when opponents of the past become friends and allies of the future and those who were forced to pick a side find themselves ostracized, standing alone like a little piece of cheese,” the coalition said in a statement, which said that the risks and hazards of Pompeo’s visit must be acknowledged.
