Grenada in no rush to provide a response

In response to a request from the Donald Trump US Administration to install temporary radar at Maurice Bishop International Airport (MBIA) and deploy military assets in or near Grenada, Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell announced that he will provide an update to Parliament on October 28. The Lower House of Parliament, initially set to meet on October 24, rescheduled its session to accommodate this update. Mitchell clarified that his statement will not announce a government decision but will instead inform the public about the ongoing consideration of the request, which was received in August 2025. He emphasized that the matter is highly technical and requires extensive input from experts. Mitchell also noted that Grenada has historically received similar national security requests from regional and international partners, including the US, Trinidad, and France. He assured the public that the government is taking its time to deliberate on the issue, as there is no urgency to respond. The Prime Minister’s update will be delivered during his weekly social media program, ‘DMs with the PM,’ ensuring transparency and public awareness.
