In August 2025, the Trump Administration formally requested permission from the Grenadian government to temporarily install radar equipment at the Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA). Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, who also serves as the Minister for National Security and Civil Aviation, has assured the public that the decision-making process will be transparent and compliant with both domestic and international laws. Speaking before the Lower House of Parliament on November 4, Mitchell emphasized that no secret agreements would be made, and the public would be fully informed of any developments. He stated, ‘We will not enter into an agreement that violates Grenada’s laws or international law. The technical discussions are ongoing, and any decision will be made openly.’ The US Southern Command identified two potential sites at MBIA for the radar installation, with a preference for one location. However, Grenada has yet to provide a definitive response due to unresolved technical and safety concerns. Mitchell highlighted that the government is prioritizing safety and technical feasibility before making a final decision. Grenada and the US have longstanding cooperation agreements in national and regional security, which continue to underpin their bilateral relations.
