A recent Associated Press report on issues affecting the Caribbean is focusing the attention of the media agency’s reportage on a likely critical shift in the foreign policy of the Caribbean against the backdrop of Hurricane Beryl and its impact on the region.
While both the affected countries and their physically unaffected Caribbean Community (CARICOM) counterparts have targeted region-wide support for regional repairs to the damage inflicted on the affected countries by the hurricane, the recent Associated Press report pays decidedly more attention to longer-term solutions to the annual hurricane threat, which the region has to endure, and how to address issues that speaks to a response that sidelines simply repairing the damage.
