During the recent #CARICOM Heads of Government meeting in St. Kitts and Nevis, a notable diplomatic absence occurred when #Trinidad and Tobago’s Foreign Minister, identified as “Soas,” declined to attend a meeting in #Nevis because of a fear of #seasickness. https://www.stvincenttimes.com/tt-minister-skips-key-caricom-caucus-in-nevis-over-seasickness-gonsalves/

Trinidad PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar escalates feud with Caribbean neighbors

Trinidad's Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is demanding the exit of CARICOM’s secretary-general Carla Barnett after her term ends in August. The demand came during an emergency meeting Friday, escalating tensions within the 15-member trade bloc. The conflict began last year when CARICOM members criticized U.S. military actions near Venezuela. Persad-Bissessar supports the U.S. stance against drug trafficking and organized crime. She criticized CARICOM’s alignment with Venezuela, calling it “zone of peace fakery.” Her campaign against Barnett follows a 2022 incident involving alleged police misconduct. Trinidad contributes significantly to CARICOM's budget, adding weight to her demands.

Well, this is awkward. People forget the pressure on Cuba has been multipronged. And it impacts the larger Caribbean.

Especially when the incentives to retain local doctors are not high, and their numbers demonstrate it.

Health Ministry remains silent on future of Cuban medical programme

As the Cuban medical programme appears to be unravelling across the region, there has been no official response from the Ministry of Health on the issue.

At the opening of the conference there were calls for dialogue to de-escalate the tensions between Cuba and the #US, with Jamaica’s prime minister Andrew Holness raising concerns about the “severe economic hardship, energy shortages and growing humanitarian strain” and its potential consequences on the wider region.

On Friday, the chair of #Caricom, St Kitts and Nevis prime minister, Terrance Drew, said that the 15-country bloc will be responding “in a significant way to help the humanitarian situation in #Cuba” within a month.

Today, I had a short interview with Music Radio 97.1fm on the situation in the #MiddileEast.

"An international relations expert says this country’s support for the United States following #US military attacks on #Iran comes as no surprise but it will adversely affect T&T’s relations with #CARICOM.

Dr Michal Pawinski tells the Network News that the Government has adopted a bandwagon policy approach to the US."
