A small mission facing a major decisionThe Grenada embassy is already one of America’s smallest diplomatic missions. Grenada is also served within the wider structure of the U.S. Embassy to Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. The Grenada embassy is one of five relatively small posts selected from different regions of the world. There is presently no publicly available evidence establishing that the visa-bond policy and the proposed embassy closure are directly connected. For now, the proposed embassy closure appears to be part of a cost-cutting and diplomatic restructuring programme.
