PRESS STATEMENT

St John’s, 22 April… The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has taken note of a statement circulating in the public domain suggesting that the visa of the Honourable Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda has been revoked by the Government of the United States of America.

The Ministry wishes to state unequivocally that these claims are false and entirely without foundation.

The Embassy of the United States in Barbados, which has responsibility for Antigua and Barbuda, has indicated that there is no basis whatsoever for the suggestion that the Prime Minister’s visa has been revoked.

The Ministry regards the circulation of this claim as political mischief, intended to mislead the public and to create unnecessary concern during the current election period.

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda and the Government of the United States continue to maintain a constructive and collaborative working relationship, including on matters related to visas and consular affairs, as well as on broader issues of mutual
interest.

The Ministry urges all concerned to exercise responsibility in public discourse and to refrain from disseminating unfounded and misleading information.
