Or at least mention that it is part of the USA, where they vote for our president. They aren't the same as a state, as no congressional vote, and they use the US tax rates, but can adjust them as they wish by their local government.

The Virgin Islanders were really proud of the fact that Biden vacationed there. This was right before everything went to hell in a handbasket.
