Browne Defends Antigua and Barbuda Amid U.S. Draft Travel Restriction List
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has pushed back against Antigua and Barbuda’s inclusion in a draft U.S. travel restriction proposal, stating, “I can’t tell the United States what to do, but any reasonable person would recognize that Antigua and Barbuda is not a threat to the U.S. and we have been very cooperative.”
Speaking on the Browne and Browne Show on Saturday, he added, “We will not promote acrimony with the U.S., but we will stand on principle to defend our sovereignty and our people.”
The New York Times reported that Antigua and Barbuda is listed in the “yellow tier,” giving it 60 days to address security concerns—such as passport security, information-sharing, and citizenship sales—or face possible restrictions. Dominica, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia are also included.
The draft proposal lists 43 countries across three tiers. Haiti is in the “orange tier,” facing sharp restrictions, while Cuba is the only Caribbean nation in the “red tier,” meaning its citizens would be entirely barred from entering the U.S. The final policy is yet to be approved by the White House.

Trump and his dictatorship but at the same time I don’t think we should downplay the situation and what it means to our citizens
Every time there is an issue with China and the US, PM Browne of Antigua and Barbuda defends China. Every single time. Even when it is clear China is at fault.
Imagine what they see the Spanish doing here. Same as the Mexicans dem doing over there. Violent criminals. Only people who would buy a CIP passport is a crook and we are full of both so tbh I don’t blame them. Protect your US citizens and children as we should have done.
The USA is really doing its best to push the Caribbean toward China and then will get upset at us when we vote with China in the UN and have all kinds of Chinese development and projects going on locally as they did with Panama. Kind of silly.
Antigua isn’t a threat, it’s the CIP Passport holders. We did this to ourselves and have been warned for many years.
I personally know people who have been scammed by Nigerians before, and I can tell you for a fact, that a few of these very Nigerian scammers have sort CIP through the Caribbean and namely Antigua.
So go figure. If I know this, what else you think the CIA and the feds know?
Gatson Browne is a fool, and just running his bog mouth. Stop selling out your citizenship to criminals Gatson, just for gain. The US is not worried about your big mouth, it’s the criminals that seek a safe haven in the crevices of Antigua & Barbuda.
This fool must have forgotten about what Allen Stanford did to so many, while hiding out behind corrupt politicians in this very Antigua.
That man stoled over $8bil and cause the ruins of many businesses both near and far. Have you forgotten Gatson?
Well the US hasn’t.
The natural beauty of the islands is not the threat. It’s the politics, policies and optics which control the culture are the threats, as we pander to gangsters and terrorists from around the world. Didn’t you get the email fool? You can send Dwayne ‘maryjane’ Gorge to do the negotiations.
What did Bush, Jr. say, about been a fool? “There’s an old saying in, Tennessee – I know it’s in Antigua, that says, fool me once shame on you. Fool me again, shame on me, shame on, just go ahead and shame everybody. Fool👺
The cruel United States punish its weak pathetic neighbors once again, what a tragedy! China would never treat these pathetic meager states with such hatred and animosity! The Carribean must learn to accept china as their new overlords!我爱中国！
@Mao Zedong #1 Fan. What a nerve you have to say that we should accept communist and racist China as our overlords. That very ugly building that has no right being here is definitely not an embassy; it is a base with who knows what going on in there. China has bribed their way into the Caribbean and Panama and built sub-standard buildings for horrendous amounts of money in the hopes of gaining control of ports of entry. All of you need to go back to where you came from and stop threatening defenseless small countries. The same way Chinese dislike any race other than their own, we, the other races, don’t like you either so we hope that the USA will send you packing forthwith.
Its interesting that OM Gaston Brown has mentioned CIP when the yellow is also for small corrupt Countries. He missed that one
The Russian who owned the Alpha Nero super yatch is a personal friend of Putin.
Don’t take my word do your own research.
It is also known that many of the Russian Oligarchy is actually gold Putin’s assets
Donald Trump is transactional.
Big surprised if this doesn’t comes up in his Trump meeting with Putin
@Jeb. I cant believe you would say this when China has done nothing but good for you, ungrateful peasants! China is perfect in all ways and every allegation you’ve made has been wrong and uneducated, its a shame we even waste our money to save you guys! China hates no other races, we are far too benevalant for that, and you must learn to understand when you are outmatched and accept our dominion!
我会摸你！
Long live Xi Jingping! Long live the CCP!
@Mao Zedong #1 Fan – Mao Zedong was a mass murderer who had millions of Chinese slaughtered like swine. We know what the prejudice Chinese are up to, so take your fentanyl and go fuck a sword.
