The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) organization and its officials would be the most directly affected, as they could potentially receive diplomatic privileges and immunities while operating within the United States. This could make their work, travel, and residency in the U.S. more streamlined.
The U.S. President and the Executive Branch would also be affected, gaining new authority to designate CARICOM for these privileges. This change could also subtly affect U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic relations with Caribbean nations, potentially strengthening ties and cooperation on a regional level.
