The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 3 travel advisory, urging Americans to reconsider visiting Trinidad and Tobago due to a state of emergency declared by the government.
The advisory, released just days ago, highlights serious risks associated with crime, terrorism, and kidnapping on the Caribbean island. The warning comes in the wake of the country’s government declaring a nationwide state of emergency on December 30, 2024, which has been extended until next month.
The U.S. State Department cautioned travelers that the ongoing criminal activity in Trinidad and Tobago poses a threat to public safety. In response to the emergency, authorities in the country have suspended bail for individuals accused of crimes and have been granted expanded powers to arrest suspects involved in illegal activities.
