Leaders address U.S. strikes killing local fishermen, visa suspensions, and economic growth amid calls for regional unity and coordinated responses, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Caribbean leaders gather in St. Kitts and Nevis for a summit where Bahamian Foreign Minister Fred Mitchell expects full discussion with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on regional security, stability, and respect, with the U.S. State Department noting Rubio's intent to discuss these topics.
- Amid complaints, CARICOM says recent U.S. policy choices have strained relations, citing deportee demands, visa suspensions for Dominica and Antigua and Barbuda, and pressure on passport programs.
- On Monday, a recent maritime strike killed three people in the Caribbean Sea, with families of those killed decrying the attacks as the U.S. has not provided evidence of drug trafficking.
- Mark Kirton called the summit crucial for Caribbean unity and to let Mr. Rubio know the region is speaking with one voice, with CARICOM and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States seeking common approaches.
- More than a month after U.S. actions in Venezuela, Rubio's visit coincides with the U.S. having killed at least 151 people in strikes and Cuba's embargo hindering aid after Hurricane Melissa.
