The Caribbean country\u2019s government has said the radar is being used to fight local crime, and that the small nation would not be used as a launchpad to attack any other country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. would use the airports for activity that would be \u201clogistical in nature, facilitating supply replenishment and routine personnel rotations,\u201d Trinidad and Tobago\u2019s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. It did not provide further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trinidad\u2019s prime minister previously has praised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/11\/06\/a-list-of-us-military-strikes-against-alleged-drug-carrying-vessels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/11\/06\/a-list-of-us-military-strikes-against-alleged-drug-carrying-vessels\/\">ongoing U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats<\/a> in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only 7 miles separate Venezuela from the twin-island Caribbean nation at their closest point. It has two main airports: Piarco International Airport in Trinidad and ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amery Browne, an opposition senator and the country\u2019s former foreign minister, accused the government of being deceptive in its announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Browne said Trinidad and Tobago has become \u201ccomplicit facilitators of extrajudicial killings, cross-border tension and belligerence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is nothing routine about this. It has nothing to do with the usual cooperation and friendly collaborations that we have enjoyed with the USA and all of our neighbors for decades,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the cooperation with the U.S. takes the country \u201ca further step down the path of a satellite state\u201d and that it embraces a \u201cmight is right philosophy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. strikes began in September and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/11\/06\/a-list-of-us-military-strikes-against-alleged-drug-carrying-vessels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/11\/06\/a-list-of-us-military-strikes-against-alleged-drug-carrying-vessels\/\">have killed more than 80 people<\/a> as the U.S. builds up a fleet of warships near Venezuela, including the largest U.S. aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October, a U.S. warship docked in Trinidad\u2019s capital as the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump boosts military pressure on neighboring Venezuela and its President Nicol\u00e1s Maduro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. lawmakers have questioned the legality of the strikes against vessels in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean and recently announced there would be a congressional review of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government of Trinidad and Tobago says it will allow the U.S. military access to its airports in upcoming weeks as U.S.-Venezuela
