巴斯特尔，圣基茨和尼维斯，2月25日（路透社） – 美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周三在与加勒比地区领导人会面时，呼吁在打击犯罪帮派方面开展更深层次的合作，与此同时，该地区对华盛顿施压古巴可能带来的连锁反应的担忧日益加剧。
在1月3日委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗（古巴的关键盟友）被罢免后，特朗普政府正阻止对古巴的石油运输，这加剧了人道主义危机，并加大了对这个长期敌对国家的压力。

卢比奥在圣基茨和尼维斯举行的加共体（由15个成员国和5个联系国组成的加勒比地区组织）闭门会议上发表了讲话，并与一些地区领导人举行了双边会谈。
根据他讲话的记录稿，卢比奥表示：“在这个地区长期被忽视之后，我们正优先考虑西半球的事务。”
他说：“我们有兴趣在西半球重建和构建一种新的动态，在这个动态中，我们将与各位在我们共同面临的问题上进行合作。”他强调，美国和加勒比国家需要加强合作，打击通过该地区进行毒品走私的国际犯罪团伙，这些团伙装备精良。

卢比奥说：“我们认识到，其中许多团伙正在从美国购买武器，我们致力于并继续与我们的执法机构密切合作，以阻止这种情况。”他补充说，美国对海地的犯罪帮派也采取了强硬态度。
卢比奥还表示，自美国采取行动推翻马杜罗以来，委内瑞拉临时当局已经做出了重大改变，包括释放政治犯，但他指出“他们需要通过公平、民主的选举获得合法性。”
古巴担忧
卢比奥在公开讲话中没有提及古巴。唐纳德·特朗普总统此前曾威胁要对向古巴运送能源的任何国家加征关税，并敦促该岛领导人达成协议以避免人道主义危机恶化。
周三，美国财政部表示，只要交易不支持军方或政府，将允许出售委内瑞拉石油用于古巴，这似乎是在放宽限制。
财政部称，采取这一行动是“为了支持和声援古巴人民”。美国还另外承诺向古巴提供900万美元的人道主义援助，由天主教会负责运送。
在卢比奥抵达之前，牙买加总理安德鲁·霍尔尼斯呼吁加共体对古巴危机做出集体回应。古巴虽然不是加共体成员，但与该组织保持着联系。古巴长期以来一直向邻国派遣医生和教师。华盛顿也在推动各国停止参与古巴医疗项目，该项目是古巴政府的重要外汇来源。
霍尔尼斯周二表示：“人道主义苦难对任何人都没有好处。除了我们对古巴人民的兄弟情谊和声援之外，必须明确的是，古巴长期的危机不会只局限于古巴。它将影响整个加勒比盆地的移民、安全和经济安全。”他呼吁“古巴与美国之间的建设性对话，以实现缓和、改革与稳定。”
此次会议的东道主、圣基茨和尼维斯总理特伦斯·德鲁表示，加共体应该成为讨论古巴未来的对话渠道。“一个不稳定的古巴将使我们所有人都不稳定，”他说。

US has blocked oil shipments to Cuba, increasing pressure
CARICOM leaders also discuss migration, drug trafficking
Jamaica’s PM calls for dialogue between Cuba and US
BASSETERRE, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Feb 25 (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday called for deeper cooperation on tackling criminal gangs as he met Caribbean leaders, even as regional concerns grew over the potential fallout from Washington’s squeeze on Cuba.
The Trump administration is blocking off oil shipments to Cuba, worsening a humanitarian crisis and ratcheting up the pressure on Washington’s long-time foe in the wake of the ousting of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a key Cuban ally, on January 3.

Rubio addressed a closed-door meeting of CARICOM, the Caribbean group that comprises 15 member states and five associated members, in Saint Kitts and Nevis, and was holding bilateral meetings with some of the regional leaders.
The Trump administration was “giving priority to the Western Hemisphere after (the region) largely being ignored for a very long time,” Rubio said, according to a transcript of his remarks.
“We are interested in rebuilding and constructing a new dynamic in this Western Hemisphere in which we partner with all of you on the issues we share in common,” Rubio said. The U.S. and Caribbean countries would need to cooperate more to tackle international criminal groups involved in drug trafficking through the region, he said, highlighting that these groups are heavily armed.

“We recognize that many of these groups are buying weaponry from the United States, and that we are committed and continue to work very hard with our law enforcement agencies to shut that down,” Rubio said, adding that the U.S. was also taking a tough approach with criminal gangs in Haiti.
Rubio also said Venezuela’s interim authorities had made significant changes since the U.S. operation to seize Maduro, citing the release of political prisoners, but said “they will need the legitimacy of fair, democratic elections.”
CUBA CONCERNS
Rubio did not mention Cuba in the remarks that were made public. President Donald Trump had previously threatened tariff hikes against any nation sending energy supplies to Cuba and has urged the island’s leaders to reach a deal to avert a worsening humanitarian crisis.
On Wednesday, the U.S. Treasury Department said it would allow the sale of Venezuelan oil for use in Cuba, as long as the transactions do not support the military or government, in what appeared to be an easing of restrictions.
The Treasury said it was taking the action in “support and solidarity for the Cuban people.” The U.S. has separately pledged to provide $9 million of humanitarian assistance to Cubans that is being delivered by the Catholic Church.
Ahead of Rubio’s arrival, Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness appealed for a collective response from CARICOM to the crisis in Cuba, which is not a member but maintains ties with the group. Cuba has long sent doctors, as well as teachers, to work in neighboring countries. Washington is also pushing for countries to stop participating in the Cuban medics program that is a source of foreign currency for the Cuban government.
“Humanitarian suffering serves no one. Apart from our fraternal care and solidarity with the Cuban people, it must be clear that a prolonged crisis in Cuba will not remain confined to Cuba. It will affect migration, security and economic security across the Caribbean basin,” Holness said on Tuesday, calling for “constructive dialogue between Cuba and the United States aimed at de-escalation, reform and stability.”
The meeting’s host, Saint Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Terrance Drew, said CARICOM should be a conduit for dialogue over Cuba’s future. “A destabilized Cuba will destabilize all of us,” he said.
