MEDIA RELEASE
31 October 2025
The Government of Trinidad and Tobago notes the current heightened sense of anxiety and concern in the national community based on false news reports suggesting that there will be an imminent change in the status of the national and regional security environment.
Earlier this afternoon, White House Spokeswoman Anna Kelly denied reports that the United States was imminently poised to engage in military action in the region and advised that “Any announcements regarding Venezuela policy would come directly from the President.”
In addition, the Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs on behalf of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago is in active contact with the Embassy of the United States of America in Port of Spain. Based on the information received, there is no need for the population to be concerned. All citizens are therefore urged to remain calm. The United States of America through its Southern Command (SouthCom) is in fact focused on assisting in the disaster recovery efforts for Jamaica.
The Government of Trinidad and Tobago gives the assurance that it will inform the population of any changes which would warrant a change in the security environment in the country.
