A Ranking Member of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator James E.
Risch, has noted that Ghana owes American companies approximately $251 million.
He added that the repayment of these debts will significantly influence the future relationship between the two countries.
Senator Risch urged Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to leverage America's position as the IMF's largest shareholder to ensure the Fund compels Ghana to repay its debts to American entities.
