Trinidad PM says meeting with US Secretary of State was “very good”
Prime Minister Stuart Young Thursday said he held “successful” discussions with the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio on Wednesday and that he remains confident that Trinidad and Tobago’s oil agreements with Venezuela to develop the energy sector will not be significantly affected.
Young, speaking at the end of the weekly Cabinet meeting, told reporters that during his meeting with Rubio in Jamaica, Port of Spain had been able to advocate what is best for the country and the wider Caribbean Community (CARICOM) after Washington had earlier announced a new directive that eliminates oil and gas licenses for foreign companies in Venezuela.
“I took the opportunity to start out by emphasising that Trinidad and Tobago is an ally of the United States, the importance of the relationship between Trinidad and Tobago and the United States,” Young told reporters, “we are also making it clear that Trinidad and Tobago is seven miles off the coast of Venezuela.
“We are the closest Caribbean island to the South American continent and that the role we play in between that relationship, between Venezuela, the United States, Europe etc. It was recognised that Trinidad and Tobago is a leader in CARICOM,” Young old reporters.
Trinidad and Tobago has been planning to request an extension from Washington for a license granted to Shell and the National Gas Company (NGC) to develop the Dragon gas project in Venezuela.
The license, initially issued in early 2023, allows the companies to proceed with planning the project, which aims to supply gas to Trinidad by 2027. The Dragon field is located in Venezuelan waters near the maritime border with Trinidad.
In 2023, the US amended the license to permit payments to Venezuela and its state company PDVSA in hard currency or in kind, extending its expiration to October 2025. Shell and NGC require an extension to begin production following their final investment decision (FID) expected this year.
US State Department spokesperson, Tammy Bruce, speaking following the talks between Young and Rubio, said the American official had thanked Prime Minister Young for “Trinidad and Tobago’s cooperation to promote energy security, deepen our security partnership, and enhance coordination on the deportation of illegal aliens”.
Young said at all times during the meeting “there was mutual respect and an understanding of both country’s positions on certain policy matters.
“It gave me…the opportunity first hand to discuss with the Secretary of State the matters in energy. They had as one of the items as did we, the need to discuss energy security, not only for us here domestically, but throughout the region and as I emphasised we also do supply LNG (liquified natural gas) products to Chile in South America, …and in the past to the eastern seaboard of the United States”.
Young said he then took the discussion to the “Dragon gas deal, to our relationship with Venezuela and emphasised the importance of it, not only to Trinidad and Tobago, but I was able to set out how it will also affect the rest of the CARICOM region because of the important role we play in supporting some of our CARICOM brother and sister nations throughout the region.
“That was accepted,” Young said, adding “yesterday was a day that was a good day for Trinidad and Tobago.
He said as a result he was able to get into some level of “granular detail and discuss with the Secretary of State, who is one of the main people who is going to be charged with determining the policy to deal with Venezuela, and particular energy going forward exactly how this transaction is structured, the work we have already done with Shell to make it a reality and the effects that I will have in particular on the rest of the region.
“I was happy in that conversation Secretary of State Rubio did indicate that he was pleased with the information because he was getting it first hand. He understood and he said that US foreign policy is no way meant to affect or harm Trinidad and Tobago, in particular what we are doing for energy security”.
Young said that there was a recognition that “Trinidad and Tobago’s role in energy security is not limited to our domestic situation”.
Young said he also discussed ongoing exploration work in the gas and energy section “and his team understood that because these are the conversations I have been having with the decision makers in Washington for the past few years”.
The specific amended Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) license issued to Trinidad and Tobago on October 17, 2023, is valid until October 31, 2025. Trinidad and Tobago also secured a 30-year exploration and production license from the government of Venezuela for the Dragon gas field on December 21, 2023.
Young, who is also the Energy and Energy Industries Minister, told reporters that with the Dragon field project “we are continuing…we haven’t slowed down.
“Understand please as our largest trading ally, the effects that can have if it doesn’t happen and Secretary of State Rubio is very very clear that he appreciated the opportunity to hear from us…and the effects it would have and he kept emphasising we are not going to harm Trinidad and Tobago”.
He told reporters that it would be speculative to discuss whether or not the OFAC license would be extended, adding, “what I can tell you, you could recall a few weeks ago Chevron licence was not continued …
“What has happened since then with that license…Chevron was then granted a further extension. Things are fluid,” he added.
Young said Trinidad and Tobago is making sure that “all of the eggs in the gas sector are not …in the Dragon basket” and welcomed the announcement on Thursday by bpTrinidad and Tobago (bpTT) regarding the Ginger gas development and exploration success at its Frangipani well.
The company said that taking FID on Ginger and discovering gas at Frangipani are the latest demonstrations of upstream activity this year for bp, in line with its strategy to grow its oil and gas business.
THE Ginger gas development off the southeast coast of Trinidad, which is expected to produce an average of 62,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, has officially been green-lit by bpTT. It said this project is set to be one of its ten major projects slated to start up in the next two years and that the first gas for the Ginger project is anticipated in 2027.
“I am very proud to announce these two milestones. With Frangipani, our objective was to prove that our continued progress in exploration and appraisal activity could unlock new fields and investment opportunities for the region. And the sanction of Ginger represents our commitment to continuing the development of resources in our existing acreage and to producing the gas that Trinidad and Tobago – and the world – needs,” said bpTT president, David Campbell .”
Ginger is located approximately 50 miles off Trinidad’s southeast coast in water depths of less than 300 feet. Drilling on the first well began in January and is expected to resume in Q4 of this year. Frangipani is located east of the existing Mahogany field, approximately 50 miles off the southeast coast.
Young also told reporters that the government has been “very engaged” on making Calypso, which is a deep water project a reality.
“The government completed the negotiations on the fiscal terms some time ago and it was then up to BP and Woodside to work out how they would be executing the project. We continue to be engaged with them, and I am told in the new few weeks, we should be able to come back to the population…and make announcements as to what’s going on there”.

TCIFA Girls Festivals Supported by FIFA Women’s Football Campaign
On Saturday, March 15th, The Turks and Caicos Islands Football Association (TCIFA) proudly hosted a vibrant Girls Festival at the TCIFA National Academy in Providenciales, marking a significant milestone in the development of women’s football in the region. Supported by the FIFA Women’s Football Campaign, the event attracted over 103 enthusiastic young girls, with the majority of participants being unregistered new players, all eager to hone their skills and embrace the spirit of the game.
This festival is part of a broader initiative. The events are integral to FIFA’s global commitment to advancing women’s football and creating opportunities for girls to participate in sports. By supporting local initiatives like the TCIFA Girls Festivals, FIFA aims to inspire the next generation of female athletes and encourage widespread participation in football. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by participants underscored the growing passion for football among young girls in Turks and Caicos.
Building on this success, TCIFA announced upcoming girls' festivals across the islands. The next event will be held at the South Caicos Sports Complex on March 29th, followed by another at the Raymond Gardiner High School Grounds in North Caicos on April 5th. These festivals are open to all young girls, providing an opportunity to engage in football, develop their skills, and be part of an inspiring community of athletes.
The festivals not only focus on technical skills and gameplay but also emphasize teamwork, leadership, and personal growth. Interactive sessions are designed to inspire confidence and instill a sense of achievement, ensuring that each participant leaves with more than just improved football skills. The camaraderie and joy shared during these gatherings extend beyond the game, leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
Local coaches and volunteers play a crucial role in the success of these events. Their dedication and passion for the sport are instrumental in creating a nurturing environment where girls can thrive and pursue their love for football.
“As TCIFA continues to expand its reach and influence through these festivals, the hope is to create a ripple effect. Together, we can build a future where young girls everywhere have equal opportunities to shine in sports and where football becomes a powerful tool for empowerment and change. This initiative is a testament to the transformative power of sports and the commitment to fostering a vibrant community of young female athletes. Join us in celebrating the power of football to unite and empower young girls across Turks and Caicos,” commented TCIFA President Sonia Fulford.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND WELFARE COMMEMORATES SOCIAL WORK MONTH
The Department of Social Development and Welfare, under the Ministry of Home Affairs, Religious Affairs, and Transportation, celebrated Social Work Month under the theme “Compassion + Action” through a series of impactful events. A key highlight was the rededication and blessing ceremony on March 20, 2025, at St. Monica’s Anglican Church in Providenciales. The ceremony featured a moving performance by Clement Howell High School students, a Social Work Litany led by Acting Permanent Secretary Ms.
Keisha Taylor, and a Child Safeguarding Pinning Ceremony. Notable attendees included Her Excellency Governor Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam, Deputy Governor Anya Williams, Hon. Shaun Malcolm, Hon. Rachel Taylor, Hon. Otis Morris, Chief Justice Mabel Agyemang, Reverend Desiree Johnson, DPS Keisha Taylor, and Ms. Giselle Armbrister (Social Work Intern). During the event, 26 social workers were officially pinned as Child Safeguarding Ambassadors.
Social workers also participated in a virtual Trauma-Informed Self-Care workshop on March 20, led by UK-based expert Le’Siran Edwards. This session explored self-care as a holistic approach that acknowledges the effects of trauma while promoting healing, resilience, and well-being. Strategies included creating safe spaces, fostering self-awareness, and adopting recovery-focused practices.
From March 20-22, social workers convened for a retreat in the scenic twin islands, focusing on team-building, training, and community service. Among the key sessions was Family and Children Risk Assessment, presented by Dr. Samantha Phippard, Service Development Lead at Hampshire Council, UK. Dr. Phippard introduced techniques for evaluating risks and protective factors within family systems that affect children’s safety, well-being, and development. Using the "War Plan and Parable of Resilience," she illustrated the significance of reinforcing undamaged areas of bullet-riddled planes, reflecting the hidden protective factors that support resilience within family assessments.
Another standout session, Empowering Ourselves to Find Balance, was led by Social Work Therapist Candace Washington, founder of The Production Wellness House and Restorative Mind Therapeutic Wellness. She emphasized the necessity of balancing personal needs with community and family responsibilities. Her “Rest-Reset-Restore” approach inspired participants to practice self-care, prioritize well-being, and sustain resilience.
The retreat’s highlight was an exhilarating 3.5-hour scavenger hunt, where five teams of social workers—Resource Rangers, Change Makers, Mission Possible, Advocacy Avengers, and Community Champions—competed in challenges blending physical obstacles and social work trivia. Participants engaged in tasks such as bicycle races and other demanding activities that tested their endurance, teamwork, and knowledge. The Resource Rangers emerged victorious, excelling in all challenges.
The retreat concluded with an Elderly Give Back initiative, during which social workers distributed care packages to the elderly community in Middle Caicos, underscoring the department's dedication to uplifting and supporting this vital population.
Beyond professional development, the retreat underscored the transformative role social workers play in individual lives and the broader community. It provided social workers with a chance to recharge, enhance their skills, and reflect on their pivotal contributions to social change and resilience.

IMF says Antigua and Barbuda’s public debt reduced significantly
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says Antigua and Barbuda’s post-pandemic economic expansion is continuing with real economic output estimated to have surpassed pre-pandemic levels in 2024, with growth estimated at 4.3 percent.
The Washington-based financial institution said its executive board has endorsed the staff appraisal of the country, noting that the recovery in nominal gross domestic product (GDP), along with improved fiscal balances, brought down the public debt from around 100 percent of GDP in 2020 to 67 percent in 2024.
“However, gross financing needs are projected to remain around 10 percent of GDP in the medium term. Substantial domestic and external arrears, albeit with domestic arrears uncertain in size, have limited financing options.”
The IMF noted that the fiscal primary balance improved to 4.6 percent in 2024, aided by indirect tax increases, a broader economic recovery, and one-off factors. It said the 2025 budget envisages stronger tax revenues and higher capital spending.
According to Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) preliminary estimates, the current account deficit narrowed to seven percent of GDP in 2024, reflecting both a higher service trade balance, mainly tourism receipts, and a smaller goods deficit due to a contraction in imports.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows were resilient to tightening global financial conditions and continued to support ongoing hotel construction. Credit growth is recovering, with nonperforming loans contained.
In its assessment, the executive board noted that as the recovery matures, the IMF staff projects economic growth to moderate from three percent in 2025 to 2.5 percent over the medium term.
“After an increase in inflation in 2024, in part reflecting one-off factors, underlying price pressures are expected to dissipate. The external position in 2024 is assessed to be moderately weaker than the level implied by medium-term fundamentals and desirable policies.”
The IMF executive board said that efforts to raise revenue and address debt and fiscal challenges bore fruit in 2024, though further steps will be needed to restore debt sustainability, address the stock of outstanding arrears, and reduce gross financing needs in the medium term.
“Risks are currently tilted to the downside, although upside risks are also present. Downside risks emanate from elevated uncertainty about the global outlook; a deepening of geoeconomic fragmentation; commodity price volatility; climate-related vulnerabilities; and capacity constraints in the construction sector.
“Upside risks stem from stronger demand for tourism; improved air connectivity; new cruise port facilities; hosting of special events; and the intensification of productivity-enhancing structural reforms, which could support higher medium- and long-term growth.”
The executive board said that addressing external and domestic arrears is key to broadening financing options. It noted that while the fall in nominal debt in 2024 is welcome, outstanding arrears to domestic suppliers and to the Paris Club remain obstacles to debt sustainability and constrain Antigua and Barbuda’s potential access to external and domestic financing.
“Given the additional vulnerabilities stemming from climate change and the resulting substantial adaption and resilience-building investment needs, efforts to address the current debt challenges, bolster government revenues, and improve public financial management are all the more critical.”
The IMF executive board welcomed recent improvements in tax revenue, with further domestic revenue mobilization needed in the medium term to ensure fiscal sustainability. It said Antigua and Barbuda’s tax revenues remain below the authorities’ fiscal resilience guideline targets and are low by peer country standards.
“The authorities’ 2024 Budget measures have started to close the gap, but more will be needed in the medium term. To mobilize revenue without recourse to a personal income tax or higher ABST (Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax) rates, near-term priorities could include tighter control of tax exemptions, transitioning to HS2022 classification in customs, and modernizing the framework for property taxation.
“Intensifying efforts to introduce a single window system at customs and to operationalize systems to allow e-filing, e-payment and e-registration of taxes is warranted. Introducing a large taxpayer unit as well as modernized IT systems would strengthen tax administration.”
The executive board assessment said better targeted social assistance would enhance inclusion while curbing inefficiencies.
It said the current framework of social protection is fragmented across sectors and ministries. Staff sees scope to streamline these social programmes to reduce overlap and tailor social assistance to the most vulnerable households.
“In this vein, staff encourages the development of a centralized information system or unified database to maintain accurate records of all beneficiaries, track support received, and identify gaps or duplications in coverage.”
The IMF said that room remains to strengthen fiscal institutions and oversight, building on recent progress and welcomes the operationalization of the Fiscal Responsibility Oversight Committee.
But it said to promote transparency and help build public understanding, staff encourages publication of FROC reports once further experience has been gained.
“These goals would also be served by parliamentary endorsement of the Fiscal Resilience Guidelines and the medium-term fiscal framework. Statutory exemptions should be consistent with the Antigua and Barbuda Investment Authority Act and the Antigua and Barbuda Investment Authority should monitor the approved projects.”

Successful Interception of Illegal Vessel
Shortly after 10:00 p.m. on Friday March 14, 2025, the United States Air Support (USAS) Unit detected an illegal migrant vessel approximately 15 miles south of Providenciales.
The vessel was reported to the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force Marine Branch, which deployed two response vessels. In a coordinated effort, the USAS and the Marine Branch successfully intercepted the vessel.
TWO HUNDRED and SEVENTY-SEVEN (277) Haitian migrants were being transported.
The breakdown is as follows: TWO HUNDRED and THIRTY-FOUR (234) males and FORTY-THREE (43) females (including three pregnant women and one minor).
A Royal Bahamas Defence Force vessel conducting patrols under the Shiprider Agreement was diverted to assist in transporting the individuals to Providenciales. The illegals were then handed over to the TCI Border Force, aided by the TCI Regiment, for processing.
This marks yet another successful interdiction reinforcing the commitment of all involved to combat irregular migration. The RT&CIPF takes this opportunity to commend the personnel involved for their dedication to border security and public safety.
