An­tigua and Bar­bu­da Prime Min­is­ter Gas­ton Browne and Do­mini­ca Prime Min­is­ter Roo­sevelt Sker­rit have reached out to the Unit­ed States to clar­i­fy its up­com­ing visa ban an­nounced on na­tion­als of their re­spec­tive coun­tries, and to have this re­moved.

Each leader be­lieves the re­stric­tion stemmed from an “er­ror” and “mis­com­mu­ni­ca­tion.”

Browne and Sker­rit gave sep­a­rate state­ments yes­ter­day, af­ter the US on Tues­day ex­pand­ed a par­tial trav­el ban that will ap­ply to 15 new coun­tries from Jan­u­ary 1, 2026.
