  1. AMERICA NEEDS TO LEAVE!!!!! The Caribbean has been a zone of international peace for decades. We the citizens of these islands do wish for this to remain the case for decades possibly even centuries to come and we condemn the actions and "colonial presence" of the United States of America within our sovereign waters.

  2. LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON FOX! MAGA NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH, CURRENTLY BLINDED BY THE FAILED OLD ADMINISTRATION. BUT THE SITUATION IS MADE WORSE BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION… DECLINE OF AMERICA

  3. Firstly if Trinidad and Tobago really wanted peace the crime situation in this country would not be so high, secondly , Most criminals are into marijuana and drugs it encourages crime, thirdly every one knows about the situation with the police over here ( corruption ) but with american soldiers patrolling there would be no mercy for criminals, because they ain't no friend or family of criminals or would be taking any bribe from any drug man because Trinidad money is small in comparison to $ US .

  4. Praying for peace but God knows best because I have been praying years now for a major decrease of the crime situation in this country that has destroyed many lives forever, left children parentless, taken away persons love ones from them, cause people to be living in fear years now, causes business owners to close down their livelyhood due to treats of extortion from criminals who are obviously into drugs , men ilacking in basic human morals in this country refuse to go get a job but instead trying to get socalled easy money selling drugs , men abusing the wife and children when they can't afford to buy drugs, The brains of young men being destroyed causing them to become angry and aggressive most of the time, we will continue to pray for the peace all nations and how ever God chooses to do it so be it.

  5. The capital looks so run down . I hate even going there if I have something close by to it stresses me out.They could have gone have gone somewhere else to record but that is the Capital Like it or not.

  6. Please our country does not look like dooms day!!!! Spare us with that misleading filter and market area filming as though the market is not within the city. Kindly do a follow up film now that the ship is gone.

  7. "full picture" i can say with 100% certainty Al Jazeera you are not the truth and do not show the full truth you have swayed from the truth and honesty which you are sopposed to stand for very very sad indeed i see why Trump calls you fake alongside many many others 🥀🥀🥀🥀

  8. Let’s be honest — America has never stopped being a bully.
    They go around the world, starting wars, toppling governments, and pretending it’s for freedom or democracy — but it’s always about one thing: greed.

  9. This is Aljeezera's quest for winning over caribbean people with their propaganda…… I live in the Caribbean and it DOES have a drug problem with cartels from South America smuggling drugs through boats into our countries…. America has the technology to stop these boats from entering our waters and deter these cartels….We don't want drugs in our countries!!!

  10. Sounds like Tobacco and Trinidad is in the predicament like Laos in Asia. Drugs were only transshipping between Burma and Thailand in the past . Now the drug use start to spread locally too. And officials corruption begins to spread like wild fire.

  11. Aunty kams what yuh doing 😭 first yuh raise alcohol price 100% and the age to drink to 21 and now this?

    I was never expecting that i turn on cnc3 and see my country on al jazeera

  12. Trinidad and Guyana must be careful. They want to do to Venezuela what they did in Iraq, Lybia, Afghanistan.
    The rest of the Caribbean will hold you responsible
    If you think US is looking for your interest think of Grenada where they want to build prison for Radar.

  13. Approximately 77 million Americans are loyal to Trump and easily believe false narratives, including false flag attempts to justify regime change. For over 25 years, the U.S. has imposed sanctions under the Monroe Doctrine to destabilize Venezuela and replace democratically elected leaders like Chavez and Maduro with U.S. allies, causing millions of Venezuelan refugees. Now, the U.S. seeks to oust Maduro by military force. Kamliar encourage the bacchanal when, months ago, she said to attack the besieged Venezuelan People with deadly force.
