From the Trinidad Express yesterday.....

quote:

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said yesterday that the United States’ military kinetic strikes on alleged drug boats have resulted in a reduction and, in effect, a shortage of illegal drugs flowing into Trinidad and Tobago.

The shortage of illegal cocaine and marijuana has sent these prices for these illegal drugs sky-rocketing upwards of 55% and 33% respectively, she said.

“Yes there definitely has been a reduction and this is evidenced by an increase in ganja and cocaine prices on the streets. By the way, fish prices remain the same so clearly fishermen are still out in the sea working despite all the misinformation,” said Persad-Bissessar when asked by TV6 about the US’s latest airstrike, which killed three.

Yay winning the war on marijuana.
Now how about the price of fentanyl and heroin and meth? The drugs people actually die from.

May GOD Bless all the good, hardworking fishermen of the world. One of the oldest and most honest professions since the dawn of civilization.

I thought Trump was supposed to lower prices not increase them.

A price mechanism which will attract the next wave of suppliers, thus bringing the price down again.

As long as demand is there, doesn't matter what is done to supply.

Not sure if you are being serious. Basic economics. When the supply of something goes down with demand staying the same, prices go up. This has to do with illegal drugs.
