GOVERNMENT has granted approval for US military flights into and out of the Piarco and ANR Robinson International airports in the coming weeks.

Government also repeated one of several positions it has maintained since the US began its military deployment in August, that these flights are part of the commitment made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to collaborate with the US to ensure safety and security for Trinidad and Tobago and the rest of the Caribbean.

These statements by government come one week, after the release of the US National Security 2025, published in November by the White House, and signed by US President Donald Trump.
