The Embassy of the United States in Santo Domingo is the diplomatic mission of the United States of America in the Dominican Republic.
History
The United States recognized the Dominican Republic on September 17, 1866.[1] Relations between the two nations were officially established on March 26, 1884, when John M. Langston presented his credentials as American Chargé d'Affaires. Initially, Langston was also accredited to Haiti and was resident in Port-au-Prince.[1] Later developments saw the founding of the American Legation in Santo Domingo. This establishment transpired on July 23, 1904, with Thomas C. Dawson presenting his credentials as Minister Resident/Consul General.[1] In a significant evolution of the diplomatic relationship, the United States and the Dominican Republic, along with seven other American Republics, jointly announced the elevation of their Legations to Embassies on March 23, 1943. Consequently, Avra M. Warren was appointed the first American Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Dominican Republic and presented his credentials on April 17, 1943.[1]
In terms of trade and economic relations, the Dominican Republic is one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America and is a crucial trade partner of the United States. The countries are both signatories of the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).[2]
