KINGSTON, Jamaica – A.J. Nicholson might have engaged his mouth rather too loosely on this occasion. We, however, have some appreciation of, and sympathy with, his exasperation with some business and political leaders over their approach to alleged abuse of the Caribbean Community's (CARICOM) trade regime by some of our regional partners. Or, as Mr Nicholson put it in the Senate last week, their “belly-aching” over their claimed misbehaviour by Trinidad and Tobago to give it a near US$1-billion trade surplus with Jamaica. Added Mr Nicholson: “Stop quarrelling with Trinidad. Port-of-Spain is about their business. We are supposed to be about our business.”
