Latest fact check

The core language of the claim appears in secondary sources (such as News Room Guyana) that attribute it to a U.S. State Department statement, and search results indicate an official readout exists on state.gov via a preview link. However, the primary State Department release at the provided preview URL could not be accessed directly through the tools available, and the mirrored PublicNow version also timed out. Because I cannot reliably retrieve and verify the exact wording from an official, accessible primary source, I cannot conclusively confirm the statement at this time.

The verdict is Tech Error because access/time‑out issues prevented direct verification of the official State Department document that would be required to confirm the claim’s wording and context.
