And while Consul General Longsworth doesn't have to worry about his US VISA, are other officials in the Barrow administration losing sleep about having their US visas cancelled. IT happened to the CEO of NEMO - and we asked the Prime Minister if it will or has happened to others:..
Jules Vasquez
"We know that Ms. Ruth Meighan Visa was reportedly cancelled. We've heard that other senior officials in your government may be targeted. Have you received any such information?"
Rt. Hon. Dean Barrow - Prime Minister
"No. I did hear about Ms. Ruth Meighan and I believe that confirmed, because she did say to me that she would come to see me. But Earl intervene and she is the NEMO CEO and we haven't had a chance to speak yet. I in fact caused inquiries to be made of the US. I'm not saying that they will necessarily respond to those inquiries or respond by way of full disclosure, but in so far as those inquiries go, we, there is no suggestion that any other government official is in danger of losing his/her Visa, certainly no minister. What happened with Ms. Meighan obviously made the news. I have heard of senior police officers in the not too distant past having had their Visa revoked by the US, didn't make the news. But in so far as anything being about to happen, no. The inquiries yielded no kind of suggestion that that is to take place."
