MEDIA RELEASE
06/11/2024

AMCHAM T&T would like to congratulate U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and his running-mate Vice President-elect J.D. Vance on their historic election victory. We are encouraged by the peaceful and orderly conduct of the U.S. electoral process, which upheld democratic principles and allowed citizens to exercise their right to vote in a free, fair, and transparent manner.

AMCHAM T&T looks forward to the opportunities it brings to further strengthen the longstanding partnership between the United States and Trinidad and Tobago. Over the past 32 years, AMCHAM T&T has worked with White House Administrations from both of the major parties in the U.S. and, indeed in T&T. Our goal of increasing economic ties between our countries does not change. We are here to support our membership and to support the development of trade between our two nations.

As the new Administration rolls out its Americas team and agenda, we will engage to support this goal. As a business chamber, we are eager to continue fostering a relationship that supports growth, innovation, and prosperity for both our nations.

As we stand ready and willing to stay true to our mission, we also remain committed to working closely with the U.S. Embassy and other stakeholders to build on the shared values and mutual interests that unite us. We are particularly optimistic about the potential for collaboration in critical areas such as trade, energy, investment, and security—issues vital to the continued success of both Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean region.

AMCHAM T&T looks forward to engaging with the incoming Trump-Vance administration on these important matters and offers our best wishes for success in the years ahead.
