Prime Minister Dr.Ralph Gonsalves said that it is not customary for him to respond to Ministers from other caribbean governments, but he would make an exception as it relates to remarks made by Trinidad and Tobago's Minister of Energy and Engery Industries Roodal Moonilal to a statement made by the Prime Minister in reference to the TT Dollar.

Prime Minister Gonsalves maintained that accessing Trinidad and Tobago’s foreign exchange has long been a challenge for Vincentian farmers and traders, and reiterated that he has raised the issue repeatedly at various regional meetings with little to no response.

The Prime Minister said he does not have any issues with the Trinidad and Tobago’s Energy Minister or the people of the twin island republic.
