CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet held a discussion on U.S policy-making and its effect on Antigua and Barbuda, especially since the 47th President assumed office last month. The executive order which will likely result in the deportation of 110 nationals of Antigua and Barbuda citizenship requires pre-planning by the government to receive those men and women who have overstayed their time in the USA. There is no indication that any criminals are included in that list.

Nevertheless, the Cabinet is of the view that their wholesale return to Antigua will need to be addressed, especially if they are youthful enough to be employed. The Cabinet is aware that other decisions made by the current President of the USA will results in other challenges, especially where USAID is providing assistance. The withdrawal of the USA, the largest contributor to the World Health Organization (WHO), was likely to have affected the pledge of Harvard University to provide reparations to certain families and the State.
