THE state of emergency (SoE) will be extended by another three months if this is recommended by the National Security Council, says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

'If advised by the Government's National Security Council to extend the SoE, I will have no problem to do so,' said Persad-Bissessar in response to questions from the Express yesterday.

The SoE took effect on March 3, 2026, and Parliament approved a three-month extension on March 13, 2026. It is expected to end in June 2026 unless the Government moves to extend it again before then.
