Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago is a twin-island nation located in the southern Caribbean. The country has been embroiled in the escalating crisis between the US and Venezuela, with recent developments including the installation of a US military radar system on its territory. This move has stoked fears that Trinidad and Tobago could be drawn into the conflict. In November 2025, US President Donald Trump claimed to have captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, sparking international condemnation. The country's prime minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, attempted to allay concerns about a US C-17 aircraft landing in the country, which was carrying marines to support the US military operation. Trinidad and Tobago has also been accused by Venezuela of participating in the US seizure of an oil tanker off its coast. The situation highlights the complex web of alliances and rivalries in the region, with Trinidad and Tobago's involvement adding a new layer of tension to the already volatile situation.
