A regional expert is warning that growing pressure from the United States could create divisions within CARICOM, as member states respond differently to geopolitical and economic demands. The concern is that varying national interests may weaken the unity of the regional bloc.

The warning comes amid ongoing tensions surrounding relations with countries such as Cuba and Venezuela. Some Caribbean nations are being urged to adjust their policies, while others are seeking to maintain long-standing partnerships and independent positions.

The expert noted that CARICOM has historically relied on unity to strengthen its voice on the global stage. Any split within the group could reduce its influence in negotiations and limit its ability to respond effectively to regional challenges.

Leaders across the Caribbean are being encouraged to prioritise dialogue and cooperation to preserve regional solidarity. The situation highlights the delicate balance small states must maintain when navigating global political pressures.
