T&T will now en­joy ze­ro tar­iffs on crit­i­cal agri­cul­tur­al ex­ports to the Unit­ed States fol­low­ing a de­ci­sion by US Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump to mod­i­fy the scope of rec­i­p­ro­cal tar­iffs un­der the Amer­i­can tar­iff regime.

On No­vem­ber 14, 2025, Trump signed an ex­ec­u­tive or­der re­vers­ing an ear­li­er April 2 di­rec­tive that had im­posed a 15 per cent tar­iff on ni­tro­gen and phos­phate fer­tilis­ers pre­vi­ous­ly list­ed un­der An­nex II of Ex­ec­u­tive Or­der 14257.

Un­der the re­vised pol­i­cy, T&T would ben­e­fit from du­ty-free ac­cess for key fer­tilis­er prod­ucts, in­clud­ing an­hy­drous am­mo­nia, urea, and urea-am­mo­ni­um ni­trate (UAN).
