THE Assembly of Caribbean People (ACP), one of several civil society organisations opposed to a growing US military presence in the region, is calling for unified Caribbean resistance to what it describes as Washington’s “imperial agenda.”

In a statement issued on December 4, the ACP accused the United States of escalating military aggression toward Venezuela and destabilising the region.

It pointed to the build-up of US military assets in the narrow stretch of water that separates Trinidad from Venezuela, warning that the Caribbean is facing “one of its most volatile moments in recent history.”
