AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Cuba Negotiations Intensify: A CIA delegation led by director John Ratcliffe met Cuba’s security leadership in Havana, marking a major milestone in talks shrouded in secrecy as the island faces fuel shortages, protests, and a partial grid collapse. Cost Pressures: Colorado is now the 3rd most expensive U.S. state to live in, with housing affordability squeezing everyday life—an echo of the region’s broader small-business cost stress. DACA Work Permits Under Strain: DACA renewals are delayed, leaving recipients and employers worried about sudden loss of work authorization. Local Business Security: A Seattle small business says a man hid inside overnight for about 14 hours, triggering fear among vendors and raising questions about protection for micro-retail spaces. MSME Policy Push (Jamaica): Opposition lawmakers propose a national MSME growth and export program, including low-interest production financing and turning post offices into e-commerce hubs. Food-Truck Rules (Puerto Rico/USVI): A docking restriction tied to a cargo operator is raising cargo disruption concerns for island businesses. Community Commerce: Jamaica’s ILO-backed two-year decent work program aims to strengthen social dialogue and employment—while local events keep small vendors front and center.
