Two Eastern Caribbean nations have entered into separate arrangements with the United States to receive a limited number of refugees who are unable to return to their countries of origin.
The agreements were announced following a U.S. proclamation issued in December that broadened restrictions on the entry of certain foreign nationals. Both Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica have emphasized that individuals accepted under the arrangements will be subject to rigorous security and intelligence screening.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne confirmed Antigua and Barbuda’s participation, stating that the United States will provide comprehensive intelligence support throughout the process. He underscored that the arrangement reflects collaboration with international partners while safeguarding national sovereignty and security interests.
In Dominica, Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit also acknowledged the agreement, noting that it is the result of continued dialogue between his government and U.S. officials on matters of shared concern. Skerrit said the move demonstrates Dominica’s commitment to maintaining constructive and reliable relations with the United States.
Both governments have reiterated that national security considerations remain central to the implementation of the arrangements.
