Sweeping Trump tariffs: Ablakwa summons US Ambassador

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has confirmed that he has invited the United States Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Virginia Palmer, to his office for discussions on the recent imposition of a 10% tariff on Ghana by the US government.
According to the Minister, the meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday morning.
The purpose of the invitation is to seek clarification and understand the reasons behind the decision made by former US President Donald Trump to impose the tariff.
