US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday made a direct pitch for fast-growing Suriname and Guyana's new leaders to pick US firms, warning of the risks of China amid an oil boom.
Pompeo became the first US secretary of state to visit the two small South American nations, long rich in lumber and minerals but where the discovery of oil has drawn a sudden new global interest.
Meeting Suriname's newly elected president, Chan Santokhi, at his Dutch colonial-era residence in the capital Paramaribo, Pompeo said it was an "exciting time" for the economy and that the United States is "eager to partner."
