On Tuesday, April 16, 2024, the United States Ambassador-designate to the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), His Excellency Roger F. Nyhus paid a courtesy visit on the Director-General of the Organisation, Dr. Didacus Jules.
In his remarks, the Ambassador stated that the United States (US) considers the Caribbean to be a very important partner and that a major objective of the United States was to strengthen its relationship with the Caribbean region. In this regard, Ambassador Nyhus noted that the courtesy call would serve as an introductory meeting on the matters for future engagement with the OECS on areas of mutual interest, including climate change and the enhancement of regional security. These areas, he announced, were high on the US’ priority list for cooperation with the region.
During the meeting, various issues of economic concern to the US and OECS Member States were discussed. On matters concerning key areas for cooperation between the Organisation and the United States, the Ambassador expressed the desire of the United States to remain engaged with the OECS in order to address specific issues of concern to the region and enhance future prospects for cooperation.
The Director-General apprised the Ambassador of the initiatives currently being undertaken by the Organisation and the progress made towards regional integration. Dr. Jules also expressed gratitude for the support of the US in the development of the OECS region.
Both sides expressed the view that they will continue to maintain regular contact to share information, discuss specific matters relating to climate issues and security in the OECS region, and agree on broader cooperation in areas of potential mutual interest.
Ambassador Nyhus was accompanied by Elizabeth Wewerka, Political Economic Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown.
Mr Embssador we from Dominica, would like you to pay a visit to Dominica. Sir we as a people a concern about what’s happening to US citizens in Dominica, the government run Ross University out of Dominica they arrested seven of them including Pilots Magistrate and their friends for no reason .
The police and RSS shot a US citizen from salisbury while visiting his wife and family when they ambush and tear gas the people while they were in there beds. They arrested a man his wife and children name Mr Grogg then jail him, and many more instances.
Last few month Sir we had a double murder in dominica and a passport seller and his friend from the US who’s a good friend of the prime minister of dominica, is in jail for the double murder of two Canadians . Sir your presents in Dominica would be a very good thing to all Dominican’s who want answer’s to all that hatred towards US citizens .
Ibo France while I’m in agreement to some of you statement, re: Israel and Haiti, I also will tell you that your Prime Minister is the Biggest threat to Dominica, the Caribbean, Canada,
England and United States by extention. when you are in bed with the above mentioned greatest enemy and draging your Caribbean leaders into it, what do you expect the USA and others allies to do. The man by instruction is trying to remove any semblance of The United States in Dominica, eg. Ross, 7 Americans harassed. Come on would you AID your enemy?
“In his remarks,the Ambassador stated the United States considers the Caribbean to be a very important partner….” Don’t tell me, show me by your action.
What have you done for us lately? Your genocidal back Israel government receives billions of dollars plus the most modern and sophisticated cms and weapons. So much so that one of its former prime ministers boasted that Israel has the survivability of a Super Power.
You were quick to provide a home and shelter in your country for lily white Ukranians but deport Haitians back to Haiti to face almost immediate death.
The foreign policy of the US is biased and self-serving. One of the biggest problems in the Caribbean today is gun violence. Where do these guns originate? (United States of course) What have they done to mitigate the proliferation of guns to the Caribbean? Nothing! That shows you how much they care. I rest my case.
