Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister has strongly rejected claims that the country has agreed to allow the United States to use its territory for any military actions against Venezuela. The denial comes after a series of statements from Venezuelan officials, including President Nicolás Maduro, who accused the government of mortgaging the nation's seas to the U.S.

In response to these allegations, the Prime Minister assured citizens that no such agreement exists, emphasizing that the country’s sovereignty would not be compromised. The Prime Minister’s office has also dismissed concerns raised by former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, who had suggested that there could be external pressure for such military activity. The government emphasized that there was no request from the U.S. to launch attacks from Trinidad and Tobago, and that any such suggestion is purely speculative.

The issue of Trinidad and Tobago's relationship with the U.S. and Venezuela has been a point of tension in recent months, especially amid growing geopolitical concerns in the region. However, the government has made it clear that it maintains a neutral stance on foreign military actions and is committed to peaceful diplomacy with all neighboring nations. The Prime Minister has further reassured the public that any discussions or agreements with external powers would prioritize the welfare and interests of the people of Trinidad and Tobago.

While Venezuela continues to voice its concerns over potential threats to its territory, Trinidad and Tobago's leadership remains focused on its national interests and has reiterated its position of non-involvement in military actions that could destabilize the region.
