The CARICOM Private Sector Organisation (CPSO) says it welcomes the decision of the United States to remove tariffs on key Caribbean Community (CARICOM) export sectors, saying it will bring “important relief” to regional industries that had been negatively affected by the reciprocal tariffs implemented earlier this year.
President Donald Trump had first implemented the tariffs in April and updated the measure in August.
“This decision is both timely and consequential. It reinforces the competitiveness of Trinidad and Tobago’s exports in the chemicals sector, which includes fertilisers and related downstream products,” said CPSO chief executive officer, Dr. Patrick Antoine.
