Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says the re­moval of the Unit­ed States-in­stalled radar in To­ba­go should not come as a sur­prise, main­tain­ing that the high-tech, mil­i­tary-grade equip­ment was al­ways in­tend­ed to be tem­po­rary.

Break­ing her si­lence fol­low­ing Mon­day’s re­moval, Per­sad-Bisses­sar told Guardian Me­dia the move had been arranged well in ad­vance.
