The US Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados has issued a security alert prohibiting US government employees from staying at the Ladera resort in Saint Lucia due to safety concerns. This comes amid a diplomatic dispute involving the Cuban Medical Training Program, where the US Embassy publicly corrected statements made by Saint Lucian Prime Minister Philip J Pierre. The Prime Minister claimed the US government had instructed them not to allow students to study medicine in Cuba, a statement the US Embassy refuted. The advisory also raises questions about the safety of the resort and its impact on tourism. The embassy has asked US government employees to avoid the resort, stay aware of their surroundings, and exercise increased personal security awareness.
