PRESIDENT David Granger believes that Donald Trump, president-elect of the United States, will change his mind in relation to his threat to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, Guyanese included.

“It is too soon to tell; the man has only been elected a day… You may see, when he receives advice from his policy makers in Washington, you will see a modification in some of those policies,” President Granger said during his appearance on the weekly televised programme, ‘The Public Interest.’

The President is of the view that regardless of what Mr. Trump does in the area of Caribbean migration, it is already a problematic issue.

“I think that the Caribbean should aim at looking at its resources and developing a type of economic policy which makes better use of its talented human resources,” President Granger opined.

Prior to Mr. Trump being elected President of the United States, President Granger had already invited Guyanese living in the U.S to return and invest in Guyana.

“I wish some of them would return and help to develop the country. The Caribbean will benefit from them returning,” he said.

Meanwhile, Granger reiterated that he does not have any major concerns about a Trump presidency, and hopes that the U.S can still provide assistance to Guyana.

“He is a businessman, he is known as a tycoon, as a magnate. If he can help to stimulate business in the Caribbean, in Guyana, I am for it. I would like to see more United States/North American investors come in to Guyana to help us in our green energy programme, in our mining, in manufacturing. If that is the type of businessman he is, I would welcome that investment from the United States,” President Granger said.
