Govt. Accused of Spreading ‘Fake News’ about Military Mobilisation

This report covers govt. accused spreading 'fake with key details and context.

On October 31, 2025, a total of 4,500 members of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force were placed on the highest level of operational readiness, State One Alert. Following this, the Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs dismissed these reports as ‘false news.’ However, on November 2, Minister of Defence Wayne Sturge confirmed that the mobilisation was indeed real, albeit part of a drill linked to U.S. joint exercises. This raised questions about why the government initially denied these operations and how it allowed panic and speculation to spread among the public. The government now faces criticism for their lack of transparency, especially when 4,500 troops are involved. The public is demanding answers to why a real mobilisation was initially denied, who authorised the false statement, and what measures will be put in place to prevent such incidents in the future.
