HISTORIC VISIT BY VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS
United States Vice President Kamala Harris makes an historic visit to Nassau, Bahamas, today for a high-level meeting with leaders of the 15-member Caribbean Community known as CARICOM headed by Prime Minister Philip Davis.
During the visit, Harris will seek to highlight the U.S. commitment and plans for strengthening what had been fraught relations during the Trump administration.
One of the announcements expected to be made is the creation of the Coordinator for Caribbean Firearms Prosecutions in the Justice Department to increase information sharing as traffickers are prosecuted.
She will also seek to advance efforts to combat climate change in the region.
Official have said that significance of this visit cannot be understated, as it marks a monumental occasion for the Caribbean region and underscores the commitment of the Biden-Harris Administration to forge stronger ties with its Caribbean neighbors.
