US would create a plan to boost local cooperation with Mexico and review Caribbean financial access.
This bill would require the Secretary of State to create a detailed plan for better local cooperation with Mexico, especially to fight fentanyl trafficking and help border communities. It would also require a review of how people and businesses in Caribbean countries can access financial services. These efforts aim to improve security and economic ties in both regions.
Today, no specific law requires the Secretary of State to create a strategy for local cooperation with Mexico. Nor is there a requirement to review financial access in Caribbean countries. If this bill passes, the Secretary of State would be required to develop a strategy within 270 days to boost local U.S.-Mexico cooperation. This strategy would especially focus on fighting fentanyl and helping border towns. The Secretary would also need to conduct a review of financial access in CARICOM member states and report the findings to Congress.
