Prime Minister Gaston Browne has sought to reassure Antiguans and Barbudans that existing US visas will not be cancelled under new US travel restrictions due to take effect on 1 January 2026.

In a statement on social media, Mr Browne said holders of valid US visas would continue to be allowed to travel to the United States, despite concerns raised after a White House announcement on new measures affecting nationals of Antigua and Barbuda.

The government said talks with US officials were continuing and that further information would be shared as discussions progress.
