Puerto Rico

So I'm watching the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup Qualification, Suriname vs. Puerto Rico. After full regulation play, it comes down to penalty kicks. Suriname missed two and Gerald Diaz of Puerto Rico steps up to take his kick. The announcer then says:

"Gerald Diaz steps up to the spot, the 24-year old has the chance to send his country to the prelims of the Gold Cup."

Question: When did Puerto Rico gain independence from the United States?
Question: When did Suriname become part of North America?

By the way, this tournament is for one or two slots in the Gold Cup tournament. The other North American/Caribbean teams that have already qualified are:

Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, United States, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Panama, Canada, Qatar, Cuba, Guatemala

Qatar? Really? North America?

... but congratulations to Puerto Rico on their independence and on advancing toward the prelims.

Oh, and the Climate part of all this is that the game occurred in DRV PNK Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, interim home of Inter Miami CF, which will be the new team for Lionel Messi, and we all know that all that frenetic growth in Ft. Lauderdale, driven by all those GREEDY capitalists, will go bust any day now when Climate Change causes the ocean to rise 15 cubits. Those GREEDY capitalists are so blinded by their own GREED that they don't even see it coming, even though it's happening right in front of their eyes.

Congrats Puerto Rico!
