CASTRIES, St. Lucia, CMC—The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) congratulated President-Elect Donald Trump on Monday, saying the subregional grouping is looking forward to continuing “highly beneficial cooperation programs and further enhancement of relationships between our countries.”
Trump was elected for a second, non-consecutive term on November 5, defeating Democratic Party nominee Vice President Kamala Harris.
“This election was closely watched by the world, particularly by nationals of the Eastern Caribbean who are some of the USA’s closest physical neighbors. Following this resounding victory, the OECS wishes the President-Elect the best in his administration’s preparation to take up the responsibilities of the office,” the OECS Commission said in its congratulatory note.
It added that the OECS and the USA have enjoyed “a long-standing, friendly, and constructive relationship formalized in 2011 and has endured many administration changes. “The OECS and its Member States look forward to continuing highly beneficial cooperation programs and further enhancing relationships between our countries. It is an optimistic opportunity to confront common challenges affecting both regions jointly,” it added.
The OECS groups the independent islands of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Kitts-Nevis.
