U.S.-Eastern Caribbean Interbank and Money Markets as of 9:30 am AST – Alton Drew

What we’re reading.

Caribbean. Diaspora. Resilience. “As millions continue to migrate in search of better opportunities or refuge from conflict and persecution, the narratives that emerge from these journeys illustrate not only the challenges faced but also the remarkable strength found in adversity.” — Caribbean Focus.

Guyana. Venezuela. Essequibo. Oil. “On March 6, 2025, a Venezuelan gunboat made an unexpected entry into Guyana’s Stabroek Block, one of the most valuable offshore oil regions in the world. The crew openly declared over the radio that ExxonMobil’s ongoing operations were “illegal” and taking place in waters that Venezuela claims as its own.” — Caribbean Focus.

Caribbean. Immigration. Trump. “The immigration system — where rampant fraud and meritless claims have supplanted the constitutional and lawful bases upon which the President exercises core powers under Article II of the United States Constitution — is likewise replete with examples of unscrupulous behavior by attorneys and law firms.” — The White House.
