“10% Tariff Won’t Disrupt Trade, Ghana Remains a Key US Partner” – Virginia Palmer
Virginia Palmer reassures Ghana that the 10% tariff on exports won’t affect their robust trade ties.
- Trade ties remain strong despite tariffs
- Ghana’s gold and gas exports unaffected
- Life-saving programs continue without disruption
US Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Evelyn Palmer, has assured Ghanaians that the newly imposed 10% tariff on Ghanaian exports will not jeopardize the strong trade relationship between the two nations.
Despite the tariff being part of President Donald Trump’s broader trade policy, which includes levies on Chinese and European Union imports, Palmer emphasized that the US-Ghana partnership remains resilient.
She highlighted the significance of key exports like gold and gas, which will continue to play a vital role in global trade, unaffected by the tariff.
Palmer reaffirmed the strength of the US-Ghana relationship, supported by over $3 billion in bilateral trade and investment, and emphasized that the partnership, based on historical, cultural, and economic ties, will endure through any shifts in global trade policies.
