The Unit­ed States Gov­ern­ment is work­ing to sup­port pri­vate sec­tor projects in Trinidad and To­ba­go as both coun­tries seek to deep­en in­vest­ment and trade ties.

US Deputy Sec­re­tary of State Christo­pher Lan­dau made the com­mit­ment dur­ing a pri­vate sec­tor din­ner host­ed by the Amer­i­can Cham­ber of Com­merce of Trinidad and To­ba­go (AM­CHAM T&T) and the US Em­bassy on Mon­day.

Lan­dau said re­cent in­vest­ments and con­tin­ued in­ter­est by US firms in Trinidad and To­ba­go pro­vide rea­sons for op­ti­mism about the fu­ture of eco­nom­ic re­la­tions be­tween the two coun­tries.
