Defence Minister Wayne Sturge has thrown his support behind the deployment of US Navy SEAL personnel to Trinidad and Tobago, dismissing concerns that the move could undermine the country’s sovereignty.
Responding to questions from Guardian Media yesterday, Sturge agreed that the SEALs’ deployment can assist T&T in combating crime through specialised training.
Asked for details about the current number of Navy SEALs in the country and how many more are expected to assist with training, Sturge questioned if such disclosures were in the best interest of the public.
