U.S visa if it means Cuban doctors will be able to continue working in his country.

I like his stand for a Caribbean brother, Cuban doctors have been great help for many Third World countries for decades, America need to stop the bullying and have some humanity

“Out of the blue we’re being called human traffickers because we hire technical people who we pay top dollars equal to local rates but we’re now being accused of taking part in the programme where people are being exploited. That is someone’s interpretation,” Rowley said of the Trump administration policy.
Dr Rowley said he was willing to surrender further trips to the US in an effort to ensure T&T’s position is not taken lightly.

There was no such statements from the Jamaican Government. After the US made their declaration of taking away visas.....all we heard is that Jamaica is looking for replacements from India.

Since Trump is on a land quest and looking for nations to Annex to make part of the USA, I don't know why he doesn't turn to Jamaica? They would gladly give up their "independence" to become part of the USA...

Trump want to annex Cuba. In another century it could've been done.
Rowley:
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has come out in defence of Trinidad and Tobago’s sovereignty following the recent threat of US visa restrictions announced by President Donald Trump administration against governments utilising Cuba’s overseas medical missions. The programme, which has been vital to healthcare systems across the region for decades, has been described in a report by the Trump administration as constituting “forced labour” and a form of “human trafficking”.
However, while delivering the feature address at the ceremony to mark the practical completion of the $1.3 billion Port-of-Spain General Hospital Central Block yesterday, Rowley took aim at the Trump policy and reaffirmed this country’s relation with Cuba.
“We rely heavily on healthcare specialists whom we have obtained from India, the Philippines, and mainly from Cuba over the decades.
“Out of the blue we’re being called human traffickers because we hire technical people who we pay top dollars equal to local rates but we’re now being accused of taking part in the programme where people are being exploited.

RU sure? Though likely I'm not. You'd be surprised how many J'cans would rather pull 'lass vs a gun if it means racial belittling which would become par for the course if USgoverned.

I think he means the govt and its sycophants. At least I hope so but Labourites are as weak kneed as their leaders.
