With a Caricomphobic Jamaica, this should score PM Holness some well earned political points at home.

Rowley: Holness walkout a ‘deep breath’
THE Prime Minister was unfazed by Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness’ alleged walkout from a recent Caricom meeting in St Lucia in protest at Jamaica’s donation to the Caribbean Development Fund (CDF.) “One prime minister took a deep breath and we continued with our meetings,” he reported.
At a briefing on Friday at Piarco International Airport, Rowley said the CLF is used to take donations from bigger countries to give to smaller countries as compensation for the former dominating the latter’s national economies under Caricom’s trade treaty, the Caribbean Single Market and Economy (CSME.)
Rowley brushed off Holness’ walkout, saying each country had a position on matters such as the CLF.
“It cannot be said in Jamaica that the PM did not defend his country’s position.”
Referring to "games," Rowley said TT does not usually take a role of referee. He said TT paid US$5 million to the fund out of its US$40 million commitment. Others were not so forthcoming but would pay when they could, even as he said the fund was subject of "vigorous discussion."
He said the CSME is very important to TT, to help local exporters for whom Caricom is their biggest market.
