Background<br />
• Tide of drug money that washed over the Caribbean<br />
basin in 1970s‐1980s compounded the US<br />
government’s fears of tax evasion by US corporations<br />
and citizens. President Reagan attempted to address<br />
this by an aid package known as the Caribbean Basin<br />

commodities like rum, bananas and sugar but did not<br />
persuade the islands to abandon their banking secrecy<br />
laws and other tax concessions<br />
