Does this sentence need a comma?
Hi, helping a friend with a paper and am wondering if the following sentence NEEDS a comma in a particular place, and why.
I don;t mean for the sake of a pause because it is a long sentence, but is there a part that grammar requires a comma. Thank you in advance, very much. Big help. Huge Help!
They also ask for a binding agreement between the two countries and want to promote energy independence and regional stability by keeping intact a current policy between the Caribbean preference programs that strengthen ethanol supply chain among Brazil, the Caribbean nations, and the United States.

Hi,
I wouldn't say that it is incorrect without a comma, but do you want to write it in a way that does not require the reader to read it more than once to get the meaning?
Here are a few other comments.
'A , , , policy between . .

I think the sentence is perfect and does not need any comma, but I guess there an adjective cluase is used That strenthen ethanol..... if this is an additional information, then change THAT into WHICH and put a comma befor Which. Or else, your sentence is ok.
