The U.S. is seeking to install military equipment in Grenada, a country 100 miles from Venezuela , as it continues to beef up its presence in the Caribbean.
The country's government said it is "carefully reviewing" the request. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Export Development confirms that a request for the temporary installation of a radar equipment and associated technical personnel at the Maurice Bishop International Airport was received from the Government of the United States of America," the government said in a statement. It added that "any decisions will be made only after all technical and legal assessments are completed."
