The Op­po­si­tion is con­tin­u­ing to press the gov­ern­ment over what it de­scribes as unan­swered ques­tions sur­round­ing the in­stal­la­tion and sud­den re­moval of a Unit­ed States mil­i­tary radar sys­tem re­port­ed­ly used for sur­veil­lance across Trinidad and To­ba­go.

Speak­ing on the mat­ter, PNM chair­man Mar­vin Gon­za­les re­called that the Prime Min­is­ter ini­tial­ly said the radar was de­ployed to as­sist lo­cal law en­force­ment in com­bat­ing crime and nar­co-traf­fick­ing.

He not­ed that the De­fence Min­is­ter lat­er in­di­cat­ed the sys­tem would re­main in­def­i­nite­ly as part of ef­forts to ad­dress drug and hu­man traf­fick­ing.
