The U.S. Embassy in Trinidad and Tobago urged Americans to avoid U.S. government facilities after threats against U.S. citizens that officials said could be tied to rising regional tensions with Venezuela, according to Minister Roger Alexander. The warning comes amid deadly U.S. strikes in Caribbean waters against suspected drug traffickers—six boat attacks since last month, at least 19 dead—including a Thursday hit on a submarine carrying mostly fentanyl, President Trump said. Local authorities have tightened security but withheld details, as one community mourns two fishermen believed killed in a U.S. strike.
