Gov. Kenneth E. Mapp said on May 24, 2018, that Lt. Gov. Osbert Potter would represent the U.S. Virgin Islands at the state funeral for former Anguilla Chief Minister Sir Emile Gumbs on May 25, 2018.

Mapp also extended condolences to the people of Anguilla and Virgin Islanders with ties to the island following Gumbs' death earlier in May.
