Prime Minister Andrew Holness said he does not think the United States is paying enough attention to making investments in the Caribbean region.

This, as he responded to questions about Chinese interests in Jamaica.

Jamaica has historically been the largest recipient of Chinese investment in the Caribbean.

Speaking during an interview with bloomberg’s emerging markets correspondent in New York, Mr Holness said China has been very good to Jamaica.

Mr Holness said the United States has not paid enough attention to its backyard.
