A moment of uncertainty for US-Caricom relations

In the first few months of Don­ald Trump’s sec­ond term as US pres­i­dent, Sec­re­tary of State Mar­co Ru­bio met in-per­son with the heads of gov­ern­ment of 13 of the 14 in­de­pen­dent mem­ber states of the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (Cari­com) bloc. Caribbean lead­ers were ea­ger for such high-lev­el diplo­mat­ic en­gage­ment with the Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion out of the blocks. They as­sessed that their re­spec­tive coun­tries’ in­ter­ests—which have long rest­ed on Amer­i­can sup­port—would be served by this diplo­ma­cy.
