Minister of Natural Resources Vickram Bharrat says that the United States last evening assisted in expediting his clearance at the JFK airport in New York where he was rushing to be with his father who had a medical emergency.
He dismissed suggestions that he was last evening met by, escorted off and questioned by US federal agents. He said that a post on veteran journalist Enrico Woolford’s page was “mischievous” as he “came in as an emergency”.
” No. It was courtesies being extended to expedite clearing. I was not detained or interrogated,” Bharrat told Stabroek News from the United States.
