In a state­ment, AM­CHAM T&T said it is hope­ful that this de­vel­op­ment will re­sult in the grant­i­ng of the rel­e­vant li­cens­es by the Of­fice of For­eign As­sets Con­trol (OFAC).

It said the an­nounce­ment reaf­firmed the long­stand­ing part­ner­ship be­tween Trinidad and To­ba­go and the Unit­ed States, as well as the shared com­mit­ment of both na­tions to en­er­gy se­cu­ri­ty, eco­nom­ic growth, and re­gion­al sta­bil­i­ty.
