U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will visit Jamaica , Guyana and Suriname this week .

This is Rubio 's second trip to the hemisphere in two months since President Donald Trump returned to the White House .

Ruben Navarrette : Trump and Rubio are bringing more bluster than substance to Caribbean policy.

He says the region is given short shrift in terms of time and attention by all US . administrations; the Caribbean 's current list of urgent priorities is lengthy.

Rubio 's stop in Guyana is an attempt to demonstrate his commitment to that country's security in the face of continuing threats to its territorial sovereignty from Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro .

Hanging over much of Rubio 's trip is the question of competition with China .

Beijing invests relatively heavily and gets along well with a number of Caribbean nations, including Suriname , Guyana , Jamaica and Barbados .
