According to ТСН: The Pentagon announced the visit of Defense Secretary Pete Gaynor to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, scheduled for Wednesday. During this visit, he will meet with the country's leadership to 'strengthen defense relations.'

Main Discussion Topics

According to Pentagon information, the meetings will focus on strengthening defense ties and reaffirming the U.S. commitment to ensuring protection for itself and regional partners, as well as supporting stability and security in the Americas.

It is worth noting that the United States is currently concentrating a significant military presence in the Caribbean region, which adds weight to these negotiations.

Additionally, it was previously reported that a Russian tanker, which is part of the 'shadow fleet,' changed its route and left the shores of Venezuela after meeting with a U.S. destroyer.

President Donald Trump stated that he is prepared to consider the option of sending U.S. military units to Venezuela if the situation demands.

Thus, Secretary Gaynor's visit emphasizes the importance of defense cooperation in the context of instability in the region, particularly in light of increasing threats from Russia. It is clear that the United States continues to pay attention to its strategic partners in the Caribbean, especially in efforts to ensure regional security.
