I’ve invited US Ambassador for clarification on Trump’s 10% tariff on Ghana – Ablakwa

Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says he has invited the United States Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Palmer, to his office over 10% tariff on Ghana.

According to the Minister, the meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday, April 7.

“I can confirm that I have invited US Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Virginia Palmer to my office on Monday morning to provide clarifications and reasons for President Trump’s imposition of 10% tariff on Ghana,” Mr. Ablakwa tweeted.

This follows President Donald Trump’s imposition of a 10% tariff on goods imported from Ghana.

U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a set of tariffs, including a 34% levy on imports from China and a 20% tax on goods from the European Union, signalling a dramatic intensification of global trade tensions.
