PRIME Minister Stuart Young has held official talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio just over a week after the Trump administration revoked US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) licences that allowed TT to monetise gas from both the Dragon and Manakin-Cocuina cross-border gas fields with Venezuela.

Young announced the development at a media briefing on April 8. At the time, he said he intended to speak to Rubio on the issue.

A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister on April 18, however, said Young was finally able to have a telephone conversation with Rubio.
