The Heads of State and Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community met on 25 February with the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Marco Rubio. The engagement was a highly constructive one with a frank conversation regarding the essential interests of all parties.
Given the strong historical, diplomatic, familial and economic ties and cooperation over the years in matters of security, there was a clear platform for all to continue to work together to build a stronger, safer, more secure and prosperous Caribbean and United States of America; in other words, a stronger, safer, more secure and prosperous neighbourhood.
It was agreed that it was appropriate to conclude a Cooperation Framework appropriate to the 21st century to support the needs and interests of the Caribbean Community and the USA. This framework should address a structured Migration Programme, security cooperation, trade and investment, disaster recovery, human development and technical assistance.
It was recognised that the last serious and coherent engagement between members the Caribbean Community and the USA was almost 50 years ago under President Reagan.
The matter of the challenging situation in Cuba was also discussed. All parties recognised that there should be efforts to address the growing humanitarian crisis. The Caribbean Community, cognisant of its very close relationship with both Cuba and the USA, and mindful of the extent to which the Region can be negatively affected, is willing to participate in any way that will redound to the benefit of the Cuban people, while maintaining regional stability.

China ain’t liking this and the Red Dragon might start calling in her loans and those who’ve defaulted might see the Red Dragon grabbing up the collaterals used.
Gaston you must watch your speeches praising China’s silk road in public.
Lots of flowery words with very little to enlighten the public. For instance, the discussion on Cuba, was the American emissary told in no uncertain terms that the unconscionable blockade of Cuba by the American government must be permanently lifted. That the oil embargo of Venezuela must also be lifted, that the Visa application stipulations should be further discussed and that the wanton killing of persons in our waters under the guise of narco trafficking must return to stopping, boarding and interdicting those persons. I read nothing of substance in this post.
True power. You are all beneath me, so bow. They should’ve all took the kamala highway from the inception, since she now turned out to be the only winner. In their own way, each tried to show their disapproval in the Maduro, Venezuela saga, but look at them now, while the President boast, and bragged, on the showing off, of his newly claimed Venezuela oil tanker. You are standing next to Marco, so you know Cuba will be next on the agenda, after they return from Iran, then Greenland. Mexico tried to get ahead, since they too was on the agenda. They claimed fentanyl was heading to the US from Venezuela, while knowing all along Mexico was the true fentanyl dealer, now the Mexico President is accused of the same shit as Maduro. To prove the US wrong, she made a move that’s now seeing her country destroyed from within by the Cartels.
PM Gaston Browne dares not suggest to the Americans that the embargo on Cuba should be permanently lifted. He wants to be in the good graces of Trump. If he could come up with a way to dump China I believe he would. The fellow is between a ROCK and a HARD PLACE, China would call in their loan. Bwoy you sarl, sarl, sarl like mackeral
@Carvaa The cartels existed long before the current president. She did nothing to get rid of them though. People should deal with their own problems before others have to do it for them or even worse, force them to do it.
Its going to be Trinidad, Jamaica and Guyana, isnt it?
Doesn’t matter the Islands, just make sure that they are white if you want successful negotiations with the current US regime.
