TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO REAFFIRMS SUSTAINED SECURITY COOPERATION WITH UNITED STATES

The Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs reaffirms the Government of Trinidad and Tobago’s (GORTT’s) commitment to sustained cooperation with the United States of America (U.S.A.) in advancing regional safety, security, and stability.

Through this partnership, Trinidad and Tobago has benefited from joint military training exercises, enhanced surveillance capabilities, including the installation of an effective radar system, and collaborative efforts that have contributed to the interdiction of millions of dollars’ worth of illegal narcotics.

The United States Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago has also supported national development through educational initiatives, including school equipment donations and infrastructure enhancement projects.

In keeping with established bilateral cooperation, the Ministry has granted approvals for United States military aircraft to transit Trinidad and Tobago’s airports in the coming weeks. The United States has advised that these movements are logistical in nature, facilitating supply replenishment and routine personnel rotations.

The Honourable Sean Sobers M.P. Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs, welcomes the continued collaboration:

“The Ministry of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs maintains close engagement with the United States Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago. The Honourable Prime Minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has affirmed the Government’s commitment to cooperation and collaboration in the pursuit of safety and security for Trinidad and Tobago and the wider region. We welcome the continued support of the United States.”
