"President Trump met today with the leaders of The Bahamas, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Saint Lucia," Gidley said on Friday. "They discussed the importance of supporting a peaceful democratic transition in Venezuela, disaster resilience, opportunities for investment, and ongoing security cooperation."
