US EditionTrinidad and Tobago to open its airports to US military as tensions with Venezuela escalate
Trinidad and Tobago allows U.S. military logistical use of airports amid rising U.S.-Venezuela tensions; U.S. strikes killed over 80 people since September, officials said.
- On Monday, the government of Trinidad and Tobago said it will allow U.S. military access to its airports in coming weeks for logistical tasks like supply replenishment and personnel rotations.
- The U.S. recently installed a radar system at Tobago airport, which the government says will fight local crime and denied it will be a launchpad for attacks.
- Only 7 miles separate Venezuela from Trinidad and Tobago, where U.S. strikes began in September killing more than 80 people and a U.S. warship docked in Port-of-Spain in October.
- Political and legal actors reacted with opposition senator Amery Browne accusing the government of deception and U.S. lawmakers recently announcing a congressional review of the strikes' legality.
- Amery Browne warned that the `blanket permission` to the U.S. takes the country `a further step down the path of a satellite state` and embraces a `might is right` philosophy, adding `There is nothing routine about this` and the cooperation departs from decades of friendly collaboration.
