For­mer prime min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley has de­scribed as "mad­ness" and "pow­er­ful stu­pid", Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar's call for the Coast Guard to use dead­ly force against any uniden­ti­fied ves­sel en­ter­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go from Venezuela.

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has con­demned the lat­est in­ci­dent of school vi­o­lence, in which five stu­dents were im­pli­cat­ed in a bru­tal and pre­med­i­tat­ed at­tack on a school­mate. The as­sault, which oc­curred on Tues­day, 3 June 2025, took place in­side a school bath­room and was filmed by by­standers.

Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has firm­ly de­nied claims that a para­mil­i­tary group en­tered Venezuela from Trinidad and To­ba­go, de­clar­ing the gov­ern­ment has seen no ev­i­dence to sup­port such as­ser­tions.

The UN Refugee Agency will per­ma­nent­ly close its na­tion­al of­fice in Trinidad and To­ba­go on 31 Au­gust 2025 due to glob­al fund­ing short­falls. The Port of Spain of­fice will stop serv­ing the pub­lic from 25 Ju­ly. All op­er­a­tions will be man­aged re­mote­ly by the UN­HCR’s Mul­ti-Coun­try Of­fice in Pana­ma, sup­port­ed by a min­i­mal staff pres­ence lo­cal­ly.
