Fisherfolk along Tri­ni­dad’s western coastline are supporting the pre­sence of a United States warship which docks today in local waters.

When the Sunday Express visited the fishing community, a number of fishermen said they have not been fishing, out of fear.

Others said they were not bothered by the heightened US military activity in the Caribbean and are standing in support of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s decision to work with the US, saying they believe this kind of partnership is in the country’s best interest.
