The United States of America has issued a warning to Ghana over its mounting financial commitments to China while allegedly neglecting obligations to U S companies and taxpayers.
A top-ranking member of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator James E Risch, has criticised Ghana's approach to debt servicing, stating that the U S cannot continue supporting the country financially while the West African nation directs larger repayments to Beijing, China. "Instead of a trip to D C, Ghana's foreign minister should focus on honouring his government's commitments to repay U S companies and the American taxpayers.
We cannot keep subsidizing Ghana while it continues paying far larger debts to China," Senator Risch declared.
The rebuke follows a diplomatic engagement between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, , and senior U S officials at the State Department, including Under Secretary for Political Affairs Allison M Hooker and Ambassador Troy Damian Fitrell.
