Se­nior Po­lit­i­cal Re­porter

An­tigua and Bar­bu­da Prime Min­is­ter Gas­ton Browne has warned that while Trinidad and To­ba­go’s re­cent in­crease in im­port du­ties on cer­tain Cari­com prod­ucts may be ac­cept­able for health rea­sons, any wider ap­pli­ca­tion could vi­o­late the Treaty of Ch­aguara­mas. Browne al­so cau­tioned that, as the “su­per­mar­ket of the Caribbean,” T&T could face a “boomerang ef­fect” if the pol­i­cy is mis­han­dled.
