Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Kamina Johnson Smith has reiterated that there is nothing prejudicial to Jamaica’s interests in the country’s agreement with the United States to receive third-country nationals.
Johnson Smith said the Government made every effort to negotiate a transit agreement with the protection of Jamaica and the Jamaican people in mind.
She made the remark in a post on X, formerly Twitter, today in response to criticism following the Government’s announcement on Monday that the first batch of third-country nationals is expected to arrive in Jamaica soon.
