Tensions Spiral Between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago
- On June 2, security forces in eastern Venezuela apprehended terrorists who were transporting weapons into the country from Trinidad and Tobago, heightening regional tensions.
- This followed President Maduro's allegations of Trinidadian nationals attempting destabilization, while Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar warned on June 5 she might use lethal force against unidentified Venezuelan vessels.
- Venezuela condemned Persad-Bissessar's response as irate and unjustified, while former leaders criticized her rhetoric as reckless and called for diplomatic engagement to de-escalate.

- The dispute risks harming bilateral cooperation and regional energy projects like the Dragon gas field, amid growing mistrust and external pressures from US sanctions on Venezuela.
