PRIME Minister Stuart Young says the potential effect of US tariffs on regional shipping was raised during bilateral discussions in Jamaica with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on March 26.

Young gave some insight into discussions surrounding the tariffs while speaking at the Shipping Associations 87th annual general meeting at the Cruise Ship Complex in Port of Spain on March 28.

He said Caricom leaders, several days earlier at the Caricom Head of Government meeting, noted the tariffs being placed on other countries that trade with the US could indirectly affect Caricom countries.
