The statement signals Washington's intention to maintain cooperation with the Mitchell administration, particularly in areas considered important to economic development and regional stability.
Energy development remains a key area of interest for Grenada as the country seeks to improve energy security, diversify its energy sources and reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels.
The United States and Grenada also maintain longstanding diplomatic, economic and security ties, including cooperation on regional security initiatives, disaster preparedness and efforts to combat transnational crime.
Mitchell, leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), first became prime minister in June 2022 after his party defeated the New National Party (NNP), led by former Prime Minister Keith Mitchell.
His reelection gives his administration a renewed mandate as Grenada continues to pursue economic growth, infrastructure development and greater investment opportunities.
