One day af­ter Trinidad and To­ba­go joined a new­ly es­tab­lished mil­i­tary al­liance led by Unit­ed States Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump, known as the Amer­i­c­as Counter-Car­tel Coali­tion, re­gion­al se­cu­ri­ty ex­pert Garvin Heer­ah says be­ing a sig­na­to­ry to this his­toric event will on­ly reap re­ward for our coun­try.

While the Par­lia­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go was in­formed that Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar would en­gage in one-on-one dis­cus­sions with Unit­ed States Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump at the re­cent­ly con­clud­ed Shield of the Amer­i­c­as Sum­mit, it now ap­pears that the in­ter­ac­tion was not a for­mal closed-door meet­ing but rather “an en­gage­ment” just be­fore the of­fi­cial pho­to op­por­tu­ni­ty.

A Flori­da-based Trinidad and To­ba­go di­as­po­ra group is warn­ing Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to be wary of en­ter­ing in­to any mil­i­tary part­ner­ship with Unit­ed States Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump.

A Ch­agua­nas fam­i­ly was left home­less af­ter work­ers, al­leged­ly at­tached to the Hous­ing De­vel­op­ment Cor­po­ra­tion (HDC), stormed their home and de­stroyed their be­long­ings in what they de­scribe as an “il­le­gal evic­tion.”

All To­ba­go Fish­er­folk As­so­ci­a­tion (AT­FA) pres­i­dent Cur­tis Dou­glas is breath­ing a sigh of re­lief, fol­low­ing the re­cov­ery of a boat and en­gine which were stolen on Sat­ur­day night at Cour­land Bay.

Hun­dreds of fe­male po­lice of­fi­cers, as well as em­ploy­ees from the Min­istry of Cul­ture and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment, oth­er min­istries and state agen­cies, turned out to par­tic­i­pate in the In­ter­na­tion­al Women’s Day (IWD) walk around the Queen’s Park Sa­van­nah, Port-of-Spain, yes­ter­day.

As In­ter­na­tion­al Women’s Day is com­mem­o­rat­ed, women and girls are be­ing urged to take charge of their health by en­sur­ing they re­ceive the HPV vac­cine and un­der­go reg­u­lar Pap smears to guard against cer­vi­cal can­cer.

Res­i­dents and her­itage ad­vo­cates in Palmiste are step­ping up ef­forts to pre­serve the Cedar Grove chim­ney, one of south Trinidad’s last sug­ar es­tate relics, as they or­gan­ise a pe­ti­tion urg­ing au­thor­i­ties to save the 200-year-old struc­ture.

Colour and ex­cite­ment filled the Aranguez Sa­van­nah yes­ter­day as Phag­wa cel­e­bra­tions were host­ed, bring­ing to­geth­er tra­di­tion, com­mu­ni­ty and uni­ty.

Par­tic­i­pants were drenched in vi­brant colours and laugh­ter as the Pan­davas Group host­ed Phag­wa cel­e­bra­tions at Palmiste Park, San Fer­nan­do yes­ter­day.
