Cayman to invest in radar amid Trump’s Caribbean drug war
Plans to launch a ‘domain awareness radar’, were revealed in the Strategic Policy Statement published on 15 Oct.
According to the document the new installation would provide “real-time monitoring of Cayman’s waters and airspace to enhance national border and maritime security”.
It comes during a tense time for regional security, with the US government recently taking unprecedented actions against suspected drug cartel boats in the Caribbean Sea.
“Previous US administrations have interdicted vessels and seized drugs,” said James Bosworth, founder of Hxagon, a political risk consultancy and author of the Latin American Risk Report. “But what’s different this time is that the US are sinking boats without warning.” For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
