Nicolás Maduro’s recent claim that Trinidad and Tobago has “mortgaged” its maritime space to the United States has raised questions that the public can’t ignore. Whether his statement is political posturing or based on real activity, citizens deserve clear answers. If there is deeper cooperation with the United States, then the country should be seeing real benefits in crime reduction, border security and economic support. The government should address these concerns directly so people understand how our resources and national interests are being protected.
