DESPITE the US taking a hard political stance against Venezuela, levying hefty tariffs against countries and companies that trade in Venezuelan oil and gas, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in conversations on Wednesday with Prime Minister Stuart Young, said its foreign policies against Venezuela are in no way meant to harm TT and its energy sector.

This bodes well for the contentious Dragon Gas deal, which Young has said will continue.

Rubio’s sentiments were shared with the media by Young at the post-Cabinet meeting at Whitehall in Port of Spain on March 27.
