The recent deployment of US military personnel and radar systems in Trinidad and Tobago has ignited widespread concern regarding regional stability, particularly in light of the ongoing US-Venezuela tensions. The Trinidadian Prime Minister confirmed that US Marines are in the country to assist with installing radar systems at the airport, a move met with criticism from various sectors, including tourism, which fears significant impacts on business. Opposition parties have raised alarms over the secrecy surrounding the radar installation, with calls for greater transparency from the government. Military experts express skepticism over the stated purpose of the radar, suggesting its design is more aligned with military operations than anti-drug efforts. As the situation unfolds, calls for clarity and accountability grow louder among citizens and local officials, amidst fears of escalating US involvement in Caribbean affairs.
