Defence Minister Wayne Sturge has requested increased military support from the United States to help Trinidad and Tobago combat drug cartels operating in the Caribbean.
Speaking yesterday at the Americas Counter Cartel Conference, a high-level military and defence summit in Florida, Sturge told US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth that while T&T has highly-trained personnel and a strong commitment to pushing back against narco-traffickers, it lacks the resources needed to do so effectively.
