FORMER trade and industry minister Vasant Bharath says the recent decision by the US to impose 15 per cent tariffs on Trinidad and Tobago products entering its market, must serve as a wake up call for this country.
In a statement on August 5, Bharath said, “This latest move by the US reflects a continuing trend of protectionism that is reshaping global trade dynamics,”
He added, "As a small, open economy that relies heavily on international trade, we cannot afford to be passive observers.”
