On behalf of the Government and people of Antigua and Barbuda, I congratulate you on your resounding victory in the presidential election. The electorate of the United States, through democratic means, has decisively reposed their confidence in you and your policies.
In this regard, I look forward to a strengthened and cooperative relationship between the United States and Antigua and Barbuda – a small nation with which the US enjoys a perennial balance of trade surplus and a history of close cooperation on matters of national and regional security.

With every wish for your success.
