Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says agreements reached during a visit by United States Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau mark renewed confidence in T&T, and could help drive investment, energy security and industrial development. The Prime Minister noted that both governments agreed to develop the field as a single unit in February 2015, when she was last prime minister. Calypso contains an estimated 4.4 trillion cubic feet of predominantly dry, sweet gas, according to the Prime Minister. Beyond energy, Persad-Bissessar said the United States partnership included cooperation on organised crime, narcotics and human and firearms trafficking, as well as health and regional diplomacy. The Prime Minister said T&T’s qualification for the ten per cent rate would benefit the country’s exporters and economy.
