Foreign Policy
Jamaica's foreign policy balances strong ties with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada (home to large Jamaican diasporas) with Caribbean solidarity through CARICOM and engagement with China, which has made significant investments in Jamaican infrastructure.
Jamaica is a leading advocate for reparations for the transatlantic slave trade, marijuana decriminalisation in international drug policy frameworks, and reform of the international financial architecture to address debt burdens in middle-income developing countries.
