J'cans suspicious of Tillerson's impending visit to Jamaica next week

J'cans suspicious of Tillerson's impending visit to Jamaica
<snip>
The impending visit of United States Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson to the island has sparked an online debate among Jamaicans, some of whom expressed little confidence that there will be a good outcome from the visit.

Tillerson is to embark on his first major tour of Central and South America this week as a worried region watches Venezuela's slide into crisis. He is scheduled to meet with the Jamaican government on Wednesday before heading back to the US.

The political and economic turmoil in Venezuela will be top of the agenda at each of the stops: Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and then a few hours in Jamaica on the homeward leg and he seeking to rally support for Washington's tough stance against President Nicolas Maduro's regime, international media have reported.
