| DIA, January 2026 construction status |
If you are not following the construction of the new Dominica International Airport, in the extreme north east of the country, perhaps you should. China is engaged in horrific open-pit mining in Dominica's mountains, ostensibly for "stones" for the airport, but in truth and in fact, is extracting strategic metals, according to a number of reports posted online by Dominicans outraged that Prime Minister ROOSEVELT SKERRIT is permitting the plunder of his country's precious natural resources by a China that dominates Dominican domestic politics. Geologists and environmentalists in Dominica are up in arms about the situation. Unfortunately the country's hard-nosed Minister of National Security, RAYBURN BLACKMOORE, is covering it up.

As for the airport, which will have obvious military applications, due to its extreme length, a not quite 10,000 runway, not necessary by any means for the alleged use, airliners with tourists coming from North America, there is a disturbing parallel to the airport under construction in Grenada in 1983, with Cuban logistical support of Soviet intentions at that time to expand its influence over the Caribbean, and we well remember the American military response to that national security threat to the United States.

The United States should ask the Government of Dominica to present the Environmental lmpact Assessment and approved plans for the International Airport to prove it is indeed a civilian airport, and not a Chinese military runway being built in the America’s Third Border.
Unfortunately, PM Skerrit does not appear to be taking the new active foreign policy changes of the Trump Administration, regarding the Eastern Caribbean, seriously. He will, most likely, be in for a surprise, and risk managers with companies with Caribbean exposure should govern themselves accordingly.
