Min­is­ter of Trade Paula Gopee-Scoon says of­fi­cials from this coun­try and the Unit­ed States have agreed to en­gage in di­a­logue to con­tin­u­ous­ly re­view the tar­iff struc­ture be­tween the two na­tions.

The as­sur­ance came af­ter a meet­ing be­tween the Min­is­ter and Jenifer Nei­d­hart de Or­tiz, Chargé d’af­faires, and a team from the Unit­ed States Em­bassy in Port-of-Spain to dis­cuss the is­sue.

The Don­ald Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion on Wednes­day, im­posed a base­line 10 per cent im­port tar­iff on all goods en­ter­ing the Unit­ed States, ef­fec­tive April 5, in­clud­ing from long-stand­ing part­ners such as T&T.
