YAHOO: Days after Caribbean leaders announced plans to\u00a0invite President Donald Trump for a visit<\/a>, his administration is taking them up on their offer \u2014 sort of.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose recent five-nation tour through the region included only one Caribbean country, the Dominican Republic<\/a>, plans to visit the wider Caribbean region next month, said Mauricio Claver-Carone, Trump\u2019s special envoy to the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to go,\u201d Claver-Carone, who will join the secretary on the visit, told the Miami Herald.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Claver-Carone said plans are still being finalized. But the tour of the mostly English-speaking Caribbean region could include stops in Jamaica, Guyana and Barbados or Suriname. Each of the countries, along with French-speaking Haiti, are part of the 15-member Caribbean Community regional bloc known as CARICOM.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

During a regional summit last week in Barbados, CARICOM leaders announced that they planned to invite Trump for a visit. They also wanted a meeting with Rubio to discuss a number of concerns amid the United States\u2019 foreign policy shifts, which have included freezes to foreign aid, the gutting of the U.S. Agency for International Development and the pulling out of global commitments on climate change and financing. The changes, which include a ramped-up deportation policy and a rollback of legal immigration protections for Haitians, have CARICOM leaders scrambling to figure out how to react.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe CARICOM-USA relationship is an important one,\u201d Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley told the Miami Herald in response to the planned visit. \u201cWe reached out to the new administration to meet at an early stage to see how best we as a community can work together. There is the issue of Haiti and its stability, which is paramount. There are also a number of other matters of mutual interest; it is best to see where we may work together as members of the same neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Those issues include climate change, which regional leaders have listed as the number one threat to their existence as small island states and economies, and ongoing security matters. During the CARICOM opening ceremony in which she called for the region to be \u201cmore unified and bolder\u201d than ever before, Mottley said crime continues to \u201cbedevil too many of our nations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe in this region are paying too high a price for the Second Amendment rights of Americans,\u201d she said, in reference to the illicit trade of U.S. manufactured guns that is sweeping through many countries.<\/p>

Jamaica Prime Minister Andrew Holness, who has been raising the alarm about the threat of gang violence in the region, has said the threat of criminal groups goes beyond individual countries\u2019 borders. Earlier this month, he called for \u201ca global consensus that will create a global war on gangs.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce that we accept that the threats we face are transnational, then our response must be equally transnational and we must embrace greater security cooperation and reciprocity, in some ways we need an international cooperation similar to the war on terrorism,\u201d he said.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holness told the Herald that he\u2019s looking forward to Rubio\u2019s visit. Before Rubio, a former Republican senator from Florida, became Trump\u2019s secretary of state last month, the two had met on several occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable about the issues facing the region, and I believe he has the experience and support to make a positive impact,\u201d Holness said. \u201cIt is expected that a new administration will seek to execute its mandate and this will bring changes. However, Jamaica has always been a reliable and consistent partner with the U.S., and we look forward to working together on the opportunities change brings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither Rubio nor Claver-Carone were at last week\u2019s CARICOM summit, despite calls from some Democratic lawmakers that there should be representation from high-level U.S. officials. The secretary, however, did reach out to Holness<\/a> hours before the opening ceremony, and the two discussed key regional issues, according to the State Department. The summit itself, featured a number of high-profile visitors including U.N. Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, and the head of the European Union Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claver-Carone said he and Rubio want to engage with leaders on a number of issues including the ongoing gang violence and humanitarian crisis in Haiti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not immune to the tragedy,\u201d he said about Haiti, where gangs have forced more than 13,000 people to leave their homes over the last 10 days during attacks on neighborhoods across the capital, Port-au-Prince. \u201cIt\u2019s going to take some effort as well as our investment and our Caribbean partners are going to be really important in that regard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the nations Rubio and Claver-Carone may visit are grappling with issues from arms trafficking to border disputes to rising food costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of Guyana, the country has been enmeshed in a decades-long border dispute with neighboring Venezuela that has required assistance from Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One issue certain to come up during the visit is the growing presence of the People\u2019s Republic of China and its Belt and Road initiative in several Caribbean nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have worked hard to, not just court, but entrap a handful of votes around the world and including in our own hemisphere,\u201d Rubio said last month about Beijing during his U.S. Senate confirmation hearing. \u201cIf you look at the Caribbean basin in Grenada and places like that, where they go into these countries… they don\u2019t just provide a billion dollars to build a stadium, they also give you $5 million or $6 million under the table for your family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Caribbean leaders say they don\u2019t foresee any dramatic changes in their relations with the U.S. under Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be OK,\u201d Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said. \u201cWe had four years of President Trump and we had collaborations on many fronts, so we don\u2019t see any dramatic changes in the way we will engage ourselves with a second term.\u201d<\/p>\n
