PM Persad-Bissessar in High-Level Security Talks at US SOUTHCOM

In a significant move to deepen the military and security alliance between Trinidad and Tobago and the United States, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar arrived at the United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) headquarters today. The Prime Minister was received with full military honors, emphasizing the priority the U.S. places on its partnership with Trinidad and Tobago. The visit is crucial for regional stability and is expected to focus on key areas such as disrupting maritime narco-trafficking, expanding intelligence sharing, and joint maritime operations for border security. Despite critics expressing concerns over the ‘militarization of the Caribbean,’ the Prime Minister defends the alliance as a ‘game changer’ in the fight against transnational crime. The Prime Minister will meet with top SOUTHCOM officials before returning to Port of Spain.
