The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has sparked controversy by declaring her government's full support for the US military presence in the Caribbean, specifically in efforts to combat Venezuelan and Latin American drug cartels. This stance has drawn criticism from local and regional experts, who warn of potential dire consequences for Trinidad and Tobago. The move has also sparked debate among citizens, with some questioning the country's neutrality in the tensions between Venezuela and the US.
