Caribbean

Trump and Venezuela

Âé¶¹Ó³»­â€™s Kerry Smith speaks to Federico Fuentes, a regular GL writer on Venezuela and long-time solidarity activist, about the significance of United States President Donald Trump’s deployment of warships throughout the Caribbean — and why it must be opposed.

Leaders from the Caribbean states are calling on the Donald Trump administration to seriously tackle the climate change crisis.

The call comes amid the Atlantic Hurricane season, one year after a series of hurricanes devastated several Caribbean countries and concerns that warming oceans could see another season of intense storms.

Greenhouse gas emissions contribute to global warming, which creates stronger hurricanes and rising sea levels. These events pose a unique threat to Caribbean countries.
