Deputy Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Sampson Ahi, has assured Ghanaian exporters that the government is actively working to address the impact of the recently imposed US tariffs.
Speaking on the matter in an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Monday April 7, Ahi highlighted a statement released by the White House indicating that the US President is open to negotiations, with 44 countries already calling for engagement.
“We want to explore the opportunity, that window given to countries, to see whether we can be excluded from the tariffs,” Ahi stated, emphasising the government’s commitment to finding solutions.
He reassured the business community, particularly exporters to the US market, that the issue is being taken seriously and efforts are underway to mitigate the challenges posed by the tariffs.
The Deputy Minister’s remarks come as Ghana seeks to leverage diplomatic channels to secure exemptions and protect its exporters from the economic strain caused by the new trade measures.
Ahi affirmed that the government is working diligently to ensure a favourable outcome for Ghanaian businesses.
“So we want to assure the business community especially exporters into the US market that government is certainly taking the matter seriously and we are working assiduously to ensure that we see our way forward.”
