The VP should have outlined alternatives in case there were any material changes to the US Exim Bank’s loan process

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for Vice President Jagdeo’s recent response regarding the US$50 million dispute with CH4/Lindsayca and its potential impact on the US EXIM Bank $660 million loan process. It was reassuring to hear that the dispute would not impede the progress of the loan process. However, while I acknowledge the clarity provided by the Vice President on this matter, I believe it would have been beneficial if he could have outlined a few alternatives in case there were any material changes to the terms. Understanding potential contingency plans would help to alleviate concerns and ensure that the project remains on track.

In complex negotiations such as these, having a backup plan can be instrumental in mitigating risks and maintaining momentum. Therefore, I respectfully urge Vice President Jagdeo and the relevant authorities to consider providing further insights into potential alternatives, should the need arise. Once again, I commend Vice President Jagdeo for his prompt response and transparency on this issue. I trust that with continued collaboration and foresight, any challenges that may arise can be effectively addressed, leading to a successful outcome for all parties involved.

Sincerely,

Keith Bernard
