OPPOSITION MP, former prime minister and energy minister Stuart Young says the government has had no “significant new initiatives” in the energy sector to date.

His comments were made against the backdrop of the government’s announcement that its recent meeting with state-owned Saudi Arabian petroleum and gas company, Saudi Aramco, could be a step to job creation and alleviating Trinidad and Tobago’s forex challenges.

In a social media post on September 26 following the government’s announcement published in the media, Young said in 2023, under the then People's National Movement (PNM) Rowley administration, Dr Keith Rowley led a small TT delegation to Saudi Arabia where they met with the Saudi Arabian Minister of Energy and Armaco executives.
