all countries\u2014including small Caribbean nations\u2014have upended longstanding trade expectations and created deep uncertainty across the region.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2580343715\"

to carve out some sort of consideration for Caribbean goods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a 90-day suspension of the tariffs was later announced, Greene warned against complacency, arguing that the region cannot afford to wait and hope for stability from what he described as an erratic and unpredictable trade regime.<\/p><div id=\"antig-712508040\" class=\"antig-content_2

That\u2019s not just theory\u2014it\u2019s reality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He urged CARICOM member states to adopt a unified stance in discussions with the United States, emphasizing that regional solidarity is essential to achieving exemptions or special considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to be clear-eyed about the fact that these decisions are not about us, but they affect us\u2014sometimes disproportionately,\u201d Greene said. \u201cOnly through coordinated diplomacy can we hope to protect our interests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greene\u2019s comments come as international trade institutions struggle to respond to a surge in protectionist measures and shifting alliances. He noted that even multilateral frameworks such as the WTO are under pressure, leaving smaller nations increasingly vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a time for strategic diplomacy,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s also a time to build resilience. We must explore new trade lanes, strengthen intra-regional commerce, and ensure that we\u2019re not solely dependent on one market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While acknowledging the difficulties ahead, Greene expressed confidence that Caribbean cooperation could provide a path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve done it before. We can do it again. But we must act quickly and with purpose,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/Dm3gjzbSkZL7FCmcndelGS\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHAT\u2019S APP
