Plaskett and Republican Colleague Introduce Resolution to Strengthen U.S.-Caribbean Trade and Economic Ties

Delegate to Congress Stacey Plaskett, a Member of the House Ways and Means Committee, announced Tuesday that she has introduced legislation along with Republican Congressman Brad Wenstrup that seeks to strengthen U.S.-Caribbean trade and economic relations.

“I am very pleased to share that I have introduced a Resolution in the House of Representatives with my colleague Representative Brad Wenstrup, focused on strengthening U.S. trade and economic ties with the Caribbean basin," Ms. Plaskett said of the measure, called the Caribbean Trade Resolution.

"Since the second Bush Administration, the Caribbean region has been known as the United States’ Third Border. Although there have been numerous efforts to engage and build effective trade policies between the U.S. and the Third Border, Rep. Wenstrup and I are endeavoring to re-engage the Biden Administration, stressing the importance of the economic partnership between the United States and the Caribbean region, and strengthening U.S. trade and investment ties with the Caribbean, including Haiti," she said.
