US EditionTrinidad's Defence Minister Considering Age Limit and Song Ban for Kartel Show
- Trinidad and Tobago's Defence Minister Wayne Sturge limited Jamaican dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel's activities during his May 26–31 visit.
- Sturge restricted Kartel's itinerary because of concerns about the artiste's past legal troubles and possible influence on vulnerable youth.
- These restrictions involved blocking a May 27 radio interview, a May 28 meet and greet, a school visit, and a cultural lunch with community leaders.
- Sturge said Kartel's conviction was overturned on a legal technicality, not merit, and questioned how media learned of his orders to limit the artiste.
- The restrictions imply the government seeks to minimize Kartel's engagement with youth despite his scheduled May 31 concert following rescheduled February plans.
