In a significant diplomatic engagement, General Dan Caine, Chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, is set to visit Trinidad on November 25. The visit, confirmed by both the US Embassy and the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), will see General Caine meet with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar at the Diplomatic Centre in Port of Spain. The discussions are expected to focus on enhancing the strong bilateral relationship between the two nations, bolstering regional stability, and addressing the critical issue of combating drug trafficking and transnational criminal organizations. The Prime Minister has expressed her welcome for this visit, although specific details regarding the duration and logistics of General Caine’s stay remain undisclosed. General Caine, the 22nd Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the highest-ranking military officer in the US, serves as the principal military advisor to President Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and the National Security Council. His extensive military career includes roles as an F-16 fighter pilot, weapons officer, and special operations officer. This visit marks the latest in a series of military interactions between the US and Trinidad, following recent deployments of the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit for joint drills with the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force. The government has yet to comment on the broader implications of these military collaborations, particularly in the context of escalating US-Venezuela tensions. Former Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Amery Browne has called for greater transparency from the Prime Minister regarding Trinidad’s stance on these regional issues, criticizing her perceived isolation from Caricom and her handling of US military actions in the Caribbean. The visit has sparked public concern, with many questioning its potential impact on Venezuela-Trinidad relations and the broader geopolitical landscape.
