Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC has assured that Trinidad and Tobago has enough fuel to meet domestic demand and says the Government is already acting to protect local businesses from the global fallout linked to rising tensions in the Middle East.

Responding to a question in the Lower House on whether global fuel shortages could impact local availability, the Prime Minister said advice from Paria Trading Company Ltd confirms there is currently enough fuel in storage to meet national demand at this time.

“Mr. Speaker, I am advised by Paria Trading, which deals with our stocks of fuel, that at this time we have enough supply for Trinidad and Tobago.”
