Trinidad

Trinidad, specifically the village of Las Cuevas, is in the news due to the impact of US military actions in the Caribbean Sea. Recent articles highlight a lawsuit filed against the US government by the families of two Trinidadian fishermen, Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, from Las Cuevas, who were killed in a US military airstrike on their boat in October. This incident underscores the potential consequences of US military operations in the region. Separately, Trinidad is geographically relevant as the location near where the US military is actively interdicting oil tankers, like the Olina, allegedly involved in Venezuelan oil exports. These seizures are part of US efforts to enforce sanctions against Venezuela, impacting maritime activity and potentially regional stability near Trinidad.
