Caribbean governments have shown interest in cooperating
with the United States to confront and combat crimes such as drug trafficking.
This was announced after the meeting held with Caribbean
governments by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who wrote on social media:
"It was a pleasure meeting with seven Caribbean Prime
Ministers to discuss ways we can strengthen our cooperation in combating drug
and firearms trafficking, forced labor, and illegal immigration, all challenges
that contribute to violence and instability in our communities and throughout
our region."
The stance taken by the leaders of the Caribbean nations
demonstrates their interest in overcoming long-standing problems that concern
them and their citizens.
