Third Caribbean-United States Security Cooperation Dialogue in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
One of the purposes of this activity was to announce a $3.43 million assistance program to combat illicit trafficking in firearms as part of the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI). This initiative, funded by the U.S. Department of State’s Export Control and Border Security (EXBS) Program, and carried out by CARICOM IMPACS, aims to combat the illicit firearms trafficking in the region through capacity building measures in collaboration with all members of CARICOM and the Dominican Republic.
The U.S. Department of State’s Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program seeks to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and destabilizing accumulations and irresponsible transfers of conventional weapons by building effective national strategic trade control systems in countries that possess, produce, or supply strategic items, as well as in countries through which such items are most likely to transit.
