The United States Ambassador to Ghana, Virginia Palmer, has reaffirmed Ghana's strong relationship with the US, despite recent shifts in American trade policy under President Donald Trump.

Speaking in her first media engagement, Palmer emphasized that Ghana remains an important ally. "No matter the change in language or focus, Ghana is a really important partner of the United States and will continue to be so," she stated.

Her comments come in response to President Trump's latest executive order, which imposes sweeping tariffs on exports to the US.

Under the new directive, Ghanaian goods will face a 10% levy, a move that has sparked concerns about its impact on bilateral trade and economic ties.
