The Gov­ern­ment is be­ing urged to em­bark on an in­for­ma­tion cam­paign to ad­vise T&T na­tion­als about the im­pact of the Unit­ed States tar­iffs.

The ad­vice from an in­ter­na­tion­al re­la­tions ex­pert fol­lows a re­cent mes­sage from Cari­com chair Mia Mot­t­ley, who em­pha­sised that the Caribbean is not in­su­lat­ed from glob­al chal­lenges.
