mostly because of tourism. If you measured corruption throughout the Caribbean...Puerto Rico would likely rank near the top. It’s not just the government itself...it’s the island electrical company...unions...etc.
So, if one wanted to bring Puerto Rico back to some real financial gains...then you’d look at what Bill Clinton did in the mid-1990s with the 936 Act. Back in that period, the island apparel industry was booming. As 936 arrived...it destroyed two or three different industries on the island and set the stage for destroying any prosperity that existed.
Trump could do them a favor by undoing 936. But he’d have to deal with McCain who probably would be against it. Maybe he could just issue an executive order and put Clinton agenda item out of business.
