AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Migrant Transfer Rules: Antigua and Barbuda’s Parliament approved a resolution setting strict, case-by-case terms for any possible U.S. transfer of third-country nationals, with the government saying no binding deal is signed and pledging full public disclosure of the U.S. proposal and Antigua’s response. Public Consultation Push: Barbuda MP Trevor Walker blasted the process for going to Parliament without broad island-wide consultations, urging civil society and business groups to weigh in. Tourism Stakes: Tourism Minister Charles Fernandez warned the country must strike a balance in talks with Washington, stressing tourism’s huge share of GDP and the risk if U.S. carriers are disrupted. Border Security Deal: A new CARICOM–U.S. biometric data-sharing agreement was signed, with Antigua and Barbuda among participating states, aimed at strengthening border checks and immigration vetting. Travel Disruption Relief: After a LIAT cancellation left travellers stranded in Punta Cana, a special recovery flight brought many Antiguans and Barbudans home early Monday, with airport cooperation during runway works. Visa-Free Updates: Spain added Antigua and Barbuda to a nine-country CARICOM list for visa-free short stays, while the UAE published an updated visa-required list that includes Antigua and Barbuda. Hospitality Talent: ABHTA launched the Taste of Wadadli Junior Chef Academy 2026, placing 14 students in local hotel and restaurant kitchens for hands-on training.
