Forming a common front to face Trump
Along with Mexico, the Central American and the Caribbean sub-region is widely expected to be most negatively affected by the changes in US policy outlined by US President-elect Donald Trump. Trump’s plans to summarily deport the estimated 11m irregular migrants currently living in the US; to build a wall along the US-Mexico border to stop illegal migration; and to adopt protectionist economic measures to try to shore up the US’s still weak domestic economy will significantly impact Central America and the Caribbean, which remain economically dependent on the US and whose inhabitants still seek to migrate there en masse in a bid to improve their economic fortunes. It is not surprising that, in the face of such threats, Central American leaders are now seeking to form a common front.
