International relations experts are questioning the long-term benefits of Trinidad and Tobago joining the Americas Counter-Cartel Coalition through the Doral charter, raising concerns about its potential impact on Caricom relations and the longevity of the agreement under President Donald Trump.
The charter outlines a United States-led regional effort to dismantle drug cartels and transnational criminal gangs operating across the Western Hemisphere. It also aims to strengthen relationships with Latin American countries and reduce the influence of China, a foreign policy approach called the “Donroe Doctrine.”
The coalition is a partnership involving military leaders and representatives from 17 countries, including T&T and Guyana, who are committed to using coordinated security and military measures to combat organised crime.
