PRIME Minister Dr Andrew Holness has dismissed talk that his Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) Government bowed to pressure when it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the United States (US) Government to accept third-country nationals (TCNs) because it was afraid of being on the wrong side of US President Donald Trump.
âJamaica has been asked to do many things before and we have not. We have made sure it complies with our laws, that it suits our political timetable, that it suits our interests, and that it is in the interest of our friends,â said Holness.
He was speaking Monday during an interview with Nationwide News journalist Cliff Hughes on Cliff Hughes Online.
