PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar expressed shock over a report revealing that Trinidad and Tobago has imported $9 billion worth of kerosene.
Persad-Bissessar emphasised the urgent need to reopen the former Petrotrin refinery, which previously produced kerosene and other products now being imported.
Speaking on Monday at a United National Congress (UNC) meeting at Camden Hall, Couva, Persad-Bissessar said she received a report from Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers on the impact of United States tariffs on Trinidad and Tobago.
