Rowley, Trump pledge to deepen T&T/US ties

(Trinidad Guardian) Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and United States President Donald Trump yesterday agreed that both administrations will continue to strengthen the relationship which exists between the two countries.
In a release yesterday, the Office of the Prime Minister said the pledge came after Rowley had a conversation with Trump around 4.40 pm yesterday.
The release said Rowley and Trump “spoke about a number of issues of mutual interest to Trinidad and Tobago and the United States.”
It added, “The leaders agreed that both administrations would continue working together on matters including security and trade. It was acknowledged that both countries have had a close working relationship which will continue to be strengthened.
