Antigua and Barbuda could face economic challenges because of new trade policies from the United States. Prime Minister Gaston Browne has shared concerns about how these changes might affect the country, though the full impact is still being reviewed.

The government is keeping a close eye on the situation and looking at ways to reduce any negative effects. Possible steps include finding new trade partners, working more closely with the region, and making local industries more competitive. The goal is to protect the economy and ensure long-term growth.

These concerns come as Antigua and Barbuda are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and other global issues. The government is focused on building a stronger, more resilient economy by investing in renewable energy, supporting sustainable tourism, and creating new industries.
