The Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) convened an emergency meeting early Saturday amid reports of military action in Venezuela, developments that regional leaders say could have serious implications for the Caribbean.
In a statement issued following the meeting, CARICOM confirmed that it is closely monitoring the evolving situation, describing it as a matter of grave concern for the Region. The Community noted that any escalation in Venezuela has the potential to affect neighbouring countries, particularly those within close geographic proximity.
CARICOM has committed to keeping the people of the Region informed as events unfold and as further details are received. No specific measures or responses have been announced at this time.

Unfortunately there is nothing the region can do but monitor the situation.
I hope people recognize the impact this will have on our islands. Better full up ah you cylinders
Why do these crises always seem to happen suddenly? People need more proactive strategies, not just emergency meetings.
Ok, so they met, now what? Truth be told, nothing CARICOM can do about that
