ROSEAU, Dominica—Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit yesterday thanked the United States government for suspending a proclamation that would have prevented Dominicans from entering the North American country from January 1 next year.
Speaking on the state-owned DBS Radio, Skerrit said following discussions with United States officials at the embassy in Barbados, as well as the State Department in Washington, an agreement had been reached to suspend the proclamation that had been announced on Tuesday by President Donald Trump.
“I would like to thank the United States government itself for understanding the situation and agreeing to set aside for the time being the proclamation …and so this is good news. The anxieties that we all would have should be set aside,” Skerrit told radio listeners, adding that Roseau was looking forward to continuing the good relations it has enjoyed with Washington in the past.
