Min­is­ter of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Roger Alexan­der says the Gov­ern­ment and par­tic­u­lar­ly his min­istry, will be con­sid­er­ing all op­tions to se­cure the coun­try as US mil­i­tary ac­tiv­i­ties con­tin­ue in the re­gion.

Alexan­der re­spond­ed to sug­ges­tions from for­mer na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty min­is­ter Gary Grif­fith, who on Fri­day shared a video urg­ing the Gov­ern­ment to strength­en lo­cal mil­i­tary ca­pa­bil­i­ties in a bid to bet­ter se­cure the coun­try.

Grif­fith re­ferred to past com­ments from Venezue­lan gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials who ac­cused T&T’s Gov­ern­ment of aid­ing US mil­i­tary forces in pro­vok­ing their coun­try.
