retrocession

UK P&I Club said on Dec. 23 that the issue had arisen because of a lack of availability of reinsurance for reinsurers, also known as retrocession.

Finally, and most important, though retrocession would result in D.C. residents getting voting rights, Maryland and D.C. have been separated for more than 200 years and have consequently developed differently, which would be the biggest obstacle for all parties concerned.

Retrocession is a red herring, but I assume the writer knows that.

Retrocession has more national support than statehood.

The Post inexplicably ignored this overwhelming expression of the popular will in D.C., endorsing a candidate who supports “retrocession” of D.C. to Maryland.
