THE prime minister has said while it is too early to give a proper assessment of how the US ten per cent tariff will affect Trinidad and Tobago’s exports, he believes there may be exemptions.

Stuart Young gave this comment during the post-cabinet press conference on April 3 at Whitehall, Port of Spain.

“We are in the process of assessing what this means. What I can tell the population is that from an initial information perspective, it does not appear to be a blanket tariff of ten per cent of all goods to the US. There are, it appears, certain exceptions. So we are currently studying that.”
