Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

Re­gion­al se­cu­ri­ty ex­pert Dr Garvin Heer­ah has called on Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to im­me­di­ate­ly ad­dress the na­tion fol­low­ing the ar­rival of the USS Grave­ly, a US Navy de­stroy­er, in Trinidad and To­ba­go amid ris­ing re­gion­al ten­sions be­tween the Unit­ed States and Venezuela.

Speak­ing to Guardian Me­dia, Dr Heer­ah said the ar­rival of the war­ship has gen­er­at­ed un­cer­tain­ty among cit­i­zens, many of whom are ques­tion­ing whether the vis­it is lim­it­ed to joint train­ing ex­er­cis­es as stat­ed by the Gov­ern­ment.
