Oil–producing Trinidad and Tobago appears set to open a new chapter in petro relations with Venezuela in the wake of the decision taken by the Biden administration in Washington to waive some of the stricter sanctions imposed on Caracas during the Donald Trump presidency.
On Tuesday February 6, Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Minister Stuart Young left Port of Spain for Caracas at the head of a delegation that met with Venezuela’s Executive Vice President Delcy Rodriguez in what, reportedly, was the first such high-level visit there by officials from the CARICOM member country following the United States’ decision to waive sanctions against that country.
