Chair­man of the To­ba­go Di­vi­sion of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Cham­ber of In­dus­try and Com­merce, Cur­tis Williams, says re­cent tar­iff chal­lenges with the Unit­ed States could push lo­cal busi­ness­es to ex­plore new mar­kets abroad.

Williams told Guardian Me­dia that he knows this is a mat­ter the coun­try will go in­to ne­go­ti­a­tions with US about to seek a re­duc­tion in tar­iffs.

But un­til then, he said the To­ba­go busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty should look be­yond tra­di­tion­al trade part­ners.
