Many people in Trinidad and Tobago criticized the ceasefire in the city.

In a recent demonstration outside the US embassy, ​​David Abdulah, the leader of the Justice League, said Trinidad and Tobago should not have allowed the war to go to its waters.

Caricom, the Regional Trade Bloc made up of 15 Caribbean countries, has called for talks. Trinidad and Tobago is a member of the group, but Persad-Bissessar said the region is not a place of peace, revealing the number of murders and other violent crimes.
