About our Puerto Rico news

Latest news for the American territory Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, including stories on its politics, economy, and social issues.

Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean Sea, is an unincorporated territory of the United States and operates under a territorial government, with a governor as the head of state. This means that the American citizens of Puerto Rico are disenfranchised at the national level, do not vote for the president or vice president, and generally do not pay federal income tax. Puerto Rico's representatives at Congress also do not vote. The island is known for its unique blend of Spanish, African, and Taíno indigenous influences, creating a distinct cultural identity. Puerto Rico is celebrated for its coastline, with pristine beaches such as Flamenco Beach and Playa Sucia attracting visitors from around the world. The island's historical sites, such as San Juan's historic district and the forts of El Morro and San Cristóbal, offer a glimpse into its Spanish colonial past. Puerto Rico's economy is diverse, with sectors such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and tourism playing a significant role.
