US lawmakers lobby for T&T fertiliser (Trinidad Express) 

Trinidad Express published an article stating that a bipartisan group of United States Congressmen and senators is calling on the US International Trade Commission (ITC) to suspend the imposition of new duties on urea ammonium fertilizer from Trinidad and Tobago. The Biden administration imposed sanctions on Russia and cut off Russia from global trade. The cost of one of its biggest exports, fertilizer, has increased. According to IFPRI, Russia accounts for 15 percent of global trade in nitrogenous fertilizers, 17 percent of global potash fertilizer exports, and 20 percent of the global natural gas trade, a key component in manufacturing fertilizers. And fertilizer, of course, is necessary for food production.
