 NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sought Tuesday to encourage a Caribbean trade group to fully restore its relationship with Haiti and help strengthen the troubled country.
The top U.S. diplomat's brief Caribbean trip also was aimed at soothing bitterness toward the United States in the region over the ouster of former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Rice arrived in the Bahamas to meet with 14 foreign ministers and the secretary general of the Caribbean Community and Common Market, a regional trade bloc known as Caricom.
