Grenada is assessing a U.S. request to install radar systems as regional security concerns grow.
“The Ministries of National Security, Legal Affairs, and Foreign Affairs are carefully assessing the request and reviewing the request in technical consultations, in coordination with the Grenada Airport Authority and other relevant agencies.”
The statement said the Government of Grenada is carefully reviewing the request in accordance with established national procedures.
“Any decisions will be made only after all technical and legal assessments are completed. We wish to assure our citizens that any decision taken will be guided by Grenada’s sovereignty, public safety, and national interest, including the protection of our tourism industry, the traveling public, and the country’s economic well-being.”
The statement added that the Government will continue to keep the public informed as developments unfold.
This development comes as military tensions in the southern Caribbean continue to mount, as the United States is seeking to ramp up pressure on Venezuela in a new war against drug trafficking.
On Monday, it was announced that President Donald Trump had called off efforts to solve the situation with Venezuela.
Grenada is regarded as a strategic location for Washington’s maneuvers, being located approximately 100 miles from Venezuela.
