flag Trinidad and Tobago allows U.S. military flights for logistics, sparking regional tension.

flag Trinidad and Tobago has approved U.S. military aircraft transit through its airports for logistical purposes, including supply replenishment and personnel rotations, amid rising tensions with Venezuela. flag The move follows the installation of a U.S. radar system in Tobago and increased U.S. military activity in the Caribbean, including strikes on suspected drug vessels that have resulted in over 80 deaths. flag The Trinidad and Tobago government emphasized the cooperation is non-combat and does not involve using the country as a military launchpad. flag The decision has drawn criticism from opposition figures who accuse the government of enabling U.S. military overreach and undermining sovereignty. flag Venezuela responded by canceling natural gas deals with Trinidad and Tobago and accusing its leadership of aiding U.S. operations. flag The two nations share a narrow maritime border, with Piarco International and ANR Robinson International airports serving as key access points.
