A U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer arrived in the capital of Trinidad and Tobago on Oct. 26 to take part in a joint military exercise amid heightened tensions between the United States and Venezuela.
The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Gravely will remain in the twin-island nation until Oct. 30, while the U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit conducts a joint exercise with the Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force, according to a statement from the U.S. Embassy.
