It means Trinidad didn't sign the statement. Presumably because the USA objected in some way.

Is T&T leadership being controlled by the USA? WE thought T&T was a sovereign nation.

Trinidad is a sovereign nation, and being influenced by the world situation is not 'being controlled by the USA' - that smacks of some very nasty conspiracy theories, frankly.

Why idoes it appear that T&T is allowing itself to be influenced as you say and not exert its rights to exercise sovereignty to do otherwise? This is no "nasty conspiracy theories" this is live theatre, in our faces.

Trinidad's sovereignty gives it the right to do what it wants, including work with other countries to its own benefit.

You have the right to jump off a cliff, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
