BASSETERRE, St. Kitts, Jun 24, CMC – Prime Minister Dr. Terrance Drew has reiterated that his government has received no official communication from the United States that the North American country is considering imposing a travel ban on 36 countries, including St. Kitts-Nevis and three other Caribbean islands.
“This administration has received no official notice of any travel ban or restriction on our citizens. From the moment we saw the reports, we moved immediately through all appropriate diplomatic channels. I put out communication to inform our people that we had not been formally informed about such a list, and therefore, as we get information, we would inform our people and keep them updated,” Prime Minister Drew said on the state-owned ZIZ Radio.
On Monday, Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit told a news conference that while his administration had also not received any official communication from Washington on the matter, he was nonetheless informing citizens that there is “no cause for panic,” and that they should not seek to remain illegally in the United States.
