Jamaica Faced the Heat… and Walked Out With a Win

Jamaica Faced the Heat… and Walked Out With a Win

In a high-stakes meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confronted Prime Minister Andrew Holness about the country’s use of Cuban doctors and nurses. But what unfolded shocked many. Rather than bow to U.S. pressure, Holness stood firm, defending Jamaica’s medical program and walking away with key victories for the island.

This video breaks down what really happened in the Rubio-Holness meeting, why the U.S. is targeting Cuba’s medical brigades, and how Jamaica turned the situation into a diplomatic win. You'll learn how Holness safeguarded Jamaica’s sovereignty, protected regional health partnerships, and even secured new U.S. commitments to fight illegal guns and international gangs.

With over 400 Cuban medical professionals currently serving in Jamaica and more than 24,000 across the Caribbean, this moment matters—not just for Jamaica, but for the region.
