Kudos to Fulbright U.S. Scholar Dr. Catherine Cox, who provided guidance to the University of the Southern Caribbean’s (USC) Bachelor of Science in Nursing program to help the University earn the U.S. Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) distinction. USC is the first university in the English-speaking Caribbean to achieve this milestone. The accreditation allows graduates of the USC program to apply for an advanced nursing degree in the USA without further prerequisites. It also allows them for the first time to take the U.S. National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to practice nursing in the USA, elevating the field in Trinidad and Tobago, and demonstrating American leadership in global health education.

Our times demand more than posturing & promises.
They demand progress.

March 26, 2025 KINGSTON, Jamaica - Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Prime Minister of #Barbados and Chair of #CARICOM, Mia Mottley today to discuss the strong historic ties between the United States and Barbados. #Caribbean#cahft@SecRubio
Today I am pleased to welcome U.S Secretary of State, Marco Rubio to Jamaica.
Our bilateral relationship with the United States spans many decades and today is an opportunity to have meaningful discussions as we seek to maintain and expand our relationship for the mutual benefit of both our peoples and our respective countries.
Discussed the threat of Tren de Aragua with Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister @StuartRYoung1, and expressed our thanks for the Prime Minister's strong cooperation on energy security, deportations of illegal aliens, and work to limit malign influence in the region.
The United States has been a longstanding and valued partner to Jamaica, and our bilateral relationship, rooted in shared values and mutual respect, continues to evolve in ways that bring tangible benefits to both our nations.
The visit of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio presents a vital opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions on key national priorities.
As close neighbours, our prosperity and security are deeply interconnected, and we remain committed to strengthening collaboration that promotes sustainable development, investment, and innovation.
Jamaica remains steadfast in its dedication to strong diplomatic ties, mutual cooperation, and strategic partnerships that uplift our people and enhance our global standing.
Through continued dialogue and collaboration, we will work towards a future of shared progress and prosperity for both Jamaicans and Americans alike.
Pleasure to meet with Prime Minister @AndrewHolnessJM and Foreign Minister Johnson Smith as we take steps to deepen the strong and enduring U.S.-Jamaica partnership. We’re working together to promote a secure and prosperous Caribbean region, end illegal immigration, and stop the targeted financial scamming of American citizens.
The United States condemns the ongoing gang violence in Haiti. Spoke with Transitional Presidential Council President Jean about the security situation in Port-au-Prince. Grateful for the bravery of the Haitian National Police and international personnel for working to stabilize Haiti.
Embassy Kingston welcomes Secretary of State @SecRubio to Jamaica! During his visit, he will work to enhance regional cooperation & advancing U.S. foreign policy priorities. We look forward to the positive impact of his visit on U.S.-Jamaica partnership!
The United States will provide foreign aid in a way that is strategically aligned with our foreign policy priorities and the priorities of our host countries. — @SecRubio
On my way to Jamaica to meet with Caribbean partners to strengthen our hemisphere’s security and counter transnational crime. We’ll work together to crack down on illegal immigration, violence and contraband in our region, and hold accountable those who perpetrate financial fraud against vulnerable Americans. Always focused on what’s best for Americans first.
