U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) Commander Admiral Alvin Holsey met this week with Prime Minister Gaston Browne and Chief of Defence Staff Brigadier Telbert Benjamin to discuss strengthening bilateral defense cooperation between the United States and Antigua and Barbuda.
According to statements from SOUTHCOM, the meetings focused on advancing shared security objectives in the Caribbean, including countering transnational organized crime, illicit trafficking, and enhancing border security.
Admiral Holsey described the partnership with Antigua and Barbuda as integral to maintaining regional stability and security. SOUTHCOM emphasized that its collaboration with Caribbean nations remains critical to deterring criminal networks that threaten both regional and U.S. interests.
The visit forms part of ongoing efforts by U.S. Southern Command to bolster defense partnerships across the Caribbean through joint training, maritime domain awareness, and humanitarian assistance initiatives facilitated via the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown.

Ya see the smile on Gassy face….He said YEAH SURE come on down here…………China not soo happy im sure….
Gaston Browne’s RICTUS smile is a joy to behold.
This type of smile is very misleading (ask any professional photographer), because it could come over in this photo opportunity as three things: (1) horror, (2) pain or (3) genuine happiness.
I can’t tell, can you?
Hopefully, it’s either number 1 or 2 …
This is the smile of confidence. A visionary smile that can read with pin point accuracy the present and the future. God has devinely place Gaston Browne in leadership of this country to ensure that the people can see for themselves what good governance is all about.
