Ghana and the Czech Republic have expressed worry over the imposition of tariffs of various per­centages on goods exported into the United States of America.

They warned that the unilateral imposition of the tariffs by the Donald Trump-led government could disrupt internation­al trade relations and harm economies.

At a joint press conference with the Presi­dent of the Czech Republic, Petr Pavel, who is on a three-day state visit to Ghana, in Accra on Tuesday, President John Dramani Mahama said the decision by the US gov­ernment, without recourse to a consistent trade-based framework, could undermine international cooperation and development. "Many of the factories that have set up here might look for areas where they can receive cheaper tariffs to be able to export into the American market.

So it has very severe implications for everybody," President Mahama stated.
