Sources in Washington DC have confirmed that US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Ms. Victoria Nuland, a high ranking Biden Administration official Monday called Guyana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hugh Todd, to express the US Administration's grave concerns about the state of political affairs in Guyana.
The US government is taking seriously the widespread complaints about the despicable level of racism being boldly practiced by the PPP government right in the back yard on the US.
Sources in Guyana’s Foreign Ministry also confirmed the call. They reported that Todd was not prepared and was not a happy camper after the virtual meeting.
Guyana Foreign Ministry sources said Nuland was firm and resolute and insisted that the Biden Administration's concerns be addressed.
Nuland has become the face world leaders see before there is action by the Biden Administration.
Todd reportedly looked stunned after the call and rushed off to his office to make several phone calls to Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, President Irfaan Ali and others.
