This video presents the complete public address by Cabinet Minister Audrey Marks, delivered on July 1, 2026, at the National Corporate Consultation on Workforce Alignment and Jamaica's Economic Competitiveness hosted by the Institute for Workforce Education and Development (IWED) in Kingston. Speaking for the first time in detail about the controversy surrounding Jamaica's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the United States on Third Country Nationals (TCNs), Minister Marks denied initiating the arrangement and stated that the TCN request originated from the US government through official diplomatic channels. She argued that media coverage has conflated the TCN MOU — a transit arrangement for non-Jamaican deportees — with a separate five-point Broad Cooperation Proposal she developed in March 2025 while serving as Jamaica's Ambassador to Washington, which focused on expanding skilled worker migration and economic partnership. The signed MOU caps intake at 25 individuals every two weeks, with stays of between 7 and 14 days, with all costs covered by the United States.
