AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

US-Diaspora Diplomacy: Trump has nominated Trinidad-born Jennifer Johnson-Carroll as the next U.S. ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, with AMCHAM T&T calling it a sign of the enduring business and diplomatic ties between the two countries. Transport & Cost of Living: A three-day maxi-taxi strike has disrupted commuting nationwide, with business groups warning of productivity hits and added financial pressure; police buses were deployed to move stranded elderly and students, while PH taxi drivers reported higher demand. Flood Risk & Waste: Works Minister Jearlean John says littering is still a major driver of flooding, arguing that disaster outcomes are shaped by weak enforcement and poor waste disposal habits. Security & Consumer Protection: “DUNWICH 5/2026” netted 2,700+ illicit items in South Oropouche, including unregistered pharmaceuticals, male enhancement products, counterfeit clothing and unsafe electrical goods. Energy & Finance: Trinidad and Tobago NGL Limited returned to profitability in 2025, reporting an after-tax profit of TT$224.3m, helped by improved earnings at Phoenix Park Gas Processors and a reversal of impairment provisions. Governance & Transparency (Tobago): The High Court ruled E-IDCOT is not exempt from FOIA, ordering it to reconsider disclosure requests tied to Manta Lodge procurement and a franchise arrangement. Tourism & Connectivity: LIAT Air and Air Caraïbes signed an interline agreement to make Caribbean-to-Europe travel easier with single-ticket booking and through-checked luggage.
