PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is being lauded for her role in persuading the United States to remove reciprocal tariffs for several qualifying agricultural exports, particularly important nitrogen and phosphate fertilisers destined for the United States market.
The Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs announced via a media release yesterday that on November 14, US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order to modify the scope of reciprocal tariffs under the US tariff regime.
According to the ministry, this decision reverses the earlier action of April 2, 2025, when the items were removed from Annex II of Executive Order 14257 and subjected to a 15% tariff.
