The Caribbean Basin is very important to U.S. interests. At its closest, the region sits 50 miles from the U.S. mainland. We are the leading investor in the region, and $35.3 billion of trade flows between us each year. The Caribbean Basin is also important to our broader geopolitical interests. The U.S. has seven key military bases across the region; eight of the Caribbean Basin’s 30 countries formally recognize Taiwan, the highest share of any region in the world. However, while we have been distracted by other things, China has been making significant inroads into the Caribbean, where it is eager to displace American economic and military influence.
