PM promises fight
Jan 18, 2013
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Prime Minister Freundel Stuart is not happy about the recent large subsidies given to the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico in relation to rum production, which has left Barbados and other Caribbean islands at a serious disadvantage.
But he says the Government is fighting back and will take this grievance to the highest international world trade entity if need be.
Speaking at the official opening of Mount Gay Distilleries’ new Aging Bond on the Mount Gay Estate in St. Lucy yesterday, he lamented the fact that the US Government has put an enormous amount of pressure on Caribbean producers and vowed that this administration will do whatever necessary to level the playing field.
