TRUMP HITS GUYANA WITH 38% TARIFF — HIGHEST IN THE CARIBBEAN
In what is arguably the biggest economic news of the year so far, President Donald Trump announced sweeping global tariffs effective April 5, imposing a baseline 10% on most Caribbean nations — but a punishing 38% on Guyana. The tariff is framed as a “reciprocal” trade measure, though analysts note Guyana’s trade deficit with the US is driven almost entirely by oil imports, not an imbalance that typically invites retaliation.

In Berbice, several drivers were already pulled in on day one. The only question Guyanese are asking: will it be applied equally to the tinted SUVs with government plates?

FLOOD WARNING ISSUED — SOMEBODY TELL DE KOKER
The Civil Defence Commission is warning Guyanese to brace for “significant flooding” as heavy rainfall is expected to intensify through the week. The CDC issued the alert Tuesday night after rains already began battering parts of the country. Residents near low-lying areas are being urged to take precautions. The drains, presumably, have been warned too. We’ll wait and see if they got the memo.

The Big Story: SOCU Descends On Lombard Street Like Is D-Day
