Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has corrected her previous statements about the presence of US Marines on the island of Tobago. She had previously claimed that there were no US Marines in the country, but now confirmed that they were operating at Tobago’s airport. They are working to improve radar and surveillance systems to help combat drug trafficking in the region.
This correction comes at a time when the US is increasing its military presence in the Caribbean. The US is looking for allies to step up its operations against suspected drug traffickers. The Prime Minister emphasized that the US Marines will help improve surveillance and intelligence of radar systems to more effectively combat drug trafficking in the waters around Trinidad and Tobago.
It remains unclear whether the USA wants to use the radar at Tobago airport for its own purposes or whether it is an upgrade of existing systems. The Prime Minister recently met with General Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and military adviser to US President Donald Trump, to discuss cooperation. In this context, the possibility of using Trinidad as a base for operations against Venezuela was also discussed, but this was denied by the Prime Minister.
The U.S. military presence in the Caribbean has increased in recent months, seen by some experts as leverage against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Other Caribbean countries such as the Dominican Republic have also granted the US temporary access to military facilities to support the fight against drug trafficking. These developments demonstrate the strategic importance of the region for the United States and its allies.
