Description: This three-chapter investigative narrative examines how Caribbean regional unity was tested after the United States imposed partial entry restrictions on nationals of Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica. Told in a hardline journalistic style, the story follows the immediate fallout, the diplomatic standoff that followed, and the longer-term implications for travel, economic stability, and sovereignty. As CARICOM and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States close ranks, the series explores how small states navigate power imbalances, uncertainty, and pressure while attempting to turn solidarity into influence.
