Prime Min­is­ter of Do­mini­ca Roo­sevelt Sker­rit has con­firmed that the Unit­ed States has not with­drawn or sus­pend­ed its De­cem­ber 16 procla­ma­tion im­pos­ing par­tial trav­el re­stric­tions, but said the Gov­ern­ment has re­ceived key clar­i­fi­ca­tions on how the mea­sures will be ap­plied.

Sker­rit said the first for­mal re­view of the re­stric­tions will take place 90 days af­ter Jan­u­ary 1, 2026, and that the mea­sures will re­main in ef­fect un­til iden­ti­fied con­cerns are ad­dressed. He sought to re­as­sure Do­mini­can na­tion­als who al­ready hold US visas, stat­ing, “The sim­ple an­swer is yes,” when asked whether they can con­tin­ue to trav­el af­ter Jan­u­ary 1. He added that “no valid US visas are be­ing re­voked as a re­sult of the procla­ma­tion.”
