Leading Caribbean-born scholar in international relations and global governance, Professor Andy Knight, has cautioned that while T&T stands to benefit from joint training exercises with the United States Marine Corps, the nation must carefully weigh the strategic costs as they relate to its sovereignty.
Speaking exclusively to Guardian Media, Professor Knight said, “The ongoing training by US Marines in Trinidad and Tobago is part of a longstanding partnership between the US and TTDF to enhance security cooperation and build capacity in addressing common threats like drug trafficking and gang violence.”
Knight, who also served as director of the Institute of International Relations (IIR) at the University of the West Indies (UWI), noted the direct operational benefits of the exercises.
