The highest ranking Democrat in the US House and Brooklyn Congressman, Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday met with President Irfaan Ali and his delegation in Washington and stressed the need for an inclusive society here and for the government and the opposition to work together.
Jeffries’ message mirrored that of former US Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch before she departed this country.
Up to yesterday, the Ali administration, which has had frosty relations with Jeffries had not uttered a word about the Thursday meeting. It was Jeffries who outlined the nature of the talks and also disclosed that he is shortly to meet with the opposition.
