THE United States Southern Command (Southcom), the arm of the US military now responsible for carrying out president Donald Trump's offensive against narco trafficking in the region, has been identified as one of the entities helping Trinidad and Tobago send relief to Jamaica in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

The storm devastated the country after making landfall on October 28. Relief supplies and manpower are pouring into the island from all over the country.

In a post-cabinet meeting at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann's on October 30, Minister of Foreign Affairs Sean Sobers named the military force as one of the stakeholders in TT’s relief efforts.
