PRIME Minister Stuart Young flatly denied the opposition UNC's claim that "nothing is happening" regarding foreign investment into Trinidad and Tobago, by announcing he has $70 billion of "future investments" in energy sector projects lined up for 2025-2028, excluding the flat-lined Dragon Gas deal.

"Those deals depend on the choice we make next Monday," he cautioned, seeking support in the general election.

By contrast, he said one major energy company had told the new PNM government in 2015 that it was set to pay TT zero dollars in revenues under an arrangement made with the former People's Partnership government, a state of affairs Young and former prime minister Dr Rowley had then had to remedy.
