Statement by Ambassador Linda Taglialatela, US Ambassador to Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean and the OECS

We are grateful for the heroism shown by Caribbean and US soldiers who 36 years ago today answered the call of Grenada’s Governor-General, the late Sir Paul Scoon, and the leadership of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States to restore order and stability to Grenada.

In a special way, we remember the brave US servicemen who gave the ultimate sacrifice in this noble cause.

We offer profound thanks for the response of Grenada’s citizens to this intervention. Grenadians from all walks of life and from every part of Grenada, Carriacou, Petite Martinique, and the diaspora responded. They showed their dedication and commitment to this nation by crafting a tradition of democracy, peace, and stability.

We are also grateful for the bonds of friendship, cooperation, and shared purpose that unite our peoples and our governments. Americans and Grenadians share a commitment to the rule of law, to democratic governance, and to human rights in the Western Hemisphere and around the world. Our bilateral relationship has been strengthened by decades of economic, educational, cultural, and security links, as well as by steady streams of migrants in both directions that have brought our nations closer together.

One need look no further back than five weeks ago during the visit of the USNS Comfort hospital ship, which provided medical care to more than 5,100 citizens of Grenada, to see what we can do when we work together.

We are both grateful and proud of the history of strong relations between the United States and Grenada, and we are committed to demonstrate our gratitude for these strong ties through continued cooperation and exchanges.

The United States will continue to work with Grenada to strengthen bilateral and regional security cooperation and combat the transnational crime that threatens our economies and societies. Our work together to improve institutions and build resilient communities will contribute to a growing economy, create jobs, and increase opportunity for more of Grenada’s youth.

On this Thanksgiving Day, let us give gratitude for the sacrifices of the past through steadfast work today, so that the bonds between our peoples may become only stronger in the days and years to come.

    With what authority do you speak. Mr Duncan, the world will be a better place if you speak for yourself, you are acting just like trump, reverse mathematics, as far as i can remember there were more people against that evil bunch of oppressors that continue to support and enslave people of color, people that continue to support that level of mass killing should all be classified as terrorists , and not the people that fight to liberate and develope their countries without embargoes on their people. Shame on people like you that do continue to support those kind of behaviour, pay attention to your history. All the material we achieve on this earth is left behind but the cost of innocent blood remains till next judgement, dont betray your fellow brothers for junk,

      Hello, Garvis. As an American living in Grenada, I want to acknowledge with great saddness the ethnic challenges, and yes, hatred, that the US must deal with still and eradicate. I can only say that not all Americans feel the way that you suggest, and many, including myself, abhor the comments and actions of our President, a lying corrupt person, who was ‘elected’ by a minority vote of our people in an election influenced by Russian intervention. I must apologize for his actions and words that spread hate and intolerance. That said, I will also say that we have been welcomed here in Grenada entirely and warmly. You have a lovely country and lovely people, so much so that we have chosen to stay and will be doing all that we can to be friends. Thank you for your forgiveness of the evil currently being spread by some in the US. Let’s do what we can to make life better for all…

    90% of our Grenadian population appreciated what Ronald Reagan did. So we say thanks to the USA for intervening.

      Where did you get that figure from, is it documented anywhere, it is hard to believe that 90.000 people of the 100.000 in grenada supported an intervention. Please share your source. Thanks

    We were stable thank you, any instability came from Ronald Reagan’s interference & the sell-out Bernard Coad & gang; Children of the REVOLUTION, we’ll never forget! Keep your sentiments Linda Taglialatela.
