When you don’t focus on building your country you’ll be very vulnerable to such unavoidable shocks,the next should be 10% extra tax for all immigrants in us and also extra foreigners property tax

I WISH GHANA'S CHEAP USELESS LEADERS HAD TRUMP:S COMMON SENSE MISSION STATEMENT - "AMERICA FIRST", PERIOD.

GHANA IS A SELLOUT, AND TRUMP DOES NOT WANT AMERICA TO BE LIKE HOPELESS GHANA WHOSE ECONOMY IS CONTROLLED BY THE IMF COUNTRY OFFICE IN GHANA AND OTHER FOREIGN BUSINESSES LIKE TULLOW.

GHANA'S MINERAL RESOURCES (GOLD, DIAMONDS, BAUXITE, LITHIUM, CRUDE OIL, ETC) ARE THE PROPERTIES OF FOREIGNERS, WHILE GHANA ONLY COLLECT CHICKEN CHANGE TAXES BECAUSE GHANA DOES NOT OWN MAJORITY OR CONTROLLING STAKES OR SHARES IN ANY OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES.

GHANA'S USELESS LEADERS HAVE ALREADY POCKETED THEIR 3%-5% KICKBACKS, THANKS TO CORRUPT KUFUOR AND AKUFO-ADDO. THE REST OF GHANAIANS CAN GO TO HELL AND WALLOW IN PERPETUAL DEBTS AND POVERTY. THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN AS LONG AS THEY AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ALREADY SCOOPED THEIR SHARE. THE REST OF GHANA CAN BURN. WHO CARES?

THAT'S GHANA LEADERSHIP FOR YOU.

Ghana has too much to fail.
A country blessed with everything possible to be of great resource to herself,Africa and the world, has been reduced to a beggar between of twats like you with misbirth tendencies.

How pathetic. Trying to defend a racist. Africans that support this racist Trump are truly deluded. He's an avowed racist. He refused to rent to black people He is an avowed supporter of Apartheid South Africa. Hence his attacks on the current SA govt? You support Apartheid SA?! You supported the AWB against Mandela?? Is that how deep your self loathing of your race is? Are you that thick? He supports outright racists throughout the US, and is currently having black Anerican history removed from school curriculum. You ok with that? He called neo-Nazis "very fine" people. Are you ok with that? These idiots who support this racist must hate their skin color. One can support the development of Ghana without supporting a racist,fascist, neo-Nazi supporter.

If you truly care for Ghana, work like there's no USA, work like there's no Trump, nations are carved out of steal not weakness.

Hilarious how you gloss over Trump supporting neo-Nazis and white supremacists. He's literally a supporter of Apartheid South Africa. You support the supremacy of whites now?? Goodness, these Trump supporters are stupid. You'd have to be literally insane to be a black person, and support white bigotry. If you have any self-respect, you wouldn't be eager to support racists. I bet you also were enthralled when Trump talked in detail about Arnold Palmer's penis, not to mention his violent insurrection which led to the murder of police, and his crazy supporters destroying black churches. Supporting a perverted, white supremacist nutcase shows how deranged a lot of Ghanaians have become. Truly pathetic.

Also regarding the Democrats - Biden, Obama, Clinton grew the American economy by a collective more than 25% growth. These are facts. They've been far more success in job creation than your penis worshipping, insurrection, racist idol Trump. Millions of jobs created, while at the same time having normal trade deals with African countries compared to Trump and his courting of his racists. Trump lost millions of jobs and forced millions into unemployment. Seriously, you have lost your marbles supporting a white supremacist racist, who glorifies penis sizes and assaults women. Unless of course this is what you seek to emulate. Disgusting, deranged, pathetic, and clearly mentally challenged lunatics.

United States is not the world, the market out there is huge, those responsible for trade and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must quickly start exploring other markets. Africa alone is a huge market to be explored.

Exactly. Minimum 10% or 50% of what you charge American goods. Ivory Coast has over 40% taxes on American goods.

It's truly sad to see Ghanaians' IQ become so diminished over time that they now support white supremacist, Apartheid, neo-nazi supporters like Trump. These idiots would've been kissing Hitler's feet if he were alive. Nkrumah would be utterly disgusted by this idiocy. You even have Mahama pathetically mimicking this racist Trump.

Do you want to learn from Trump how to support Neo-Nazis? Or how to rape women? Or how to lead an insurrection which led to the murder of police? Or how to burn black churches? Or do you especially like it when Trump expressed deep admiration for Arnold Palmer's penis? Is that what you admire - an obese disgusting racist admiring a man's penis? That's what you all admire now. Don't believe me - go to google and type in "Donald Trump Warmly Discusses Arnold Palmer’s Penis Size". The man is sick - but black people who support his racism against blacks and his admiration for rape and men's penises are truly deranged.

The imposition of a 10% tariff on all Ghana's imports from the US must not be received lightly; something must be done about it. At best, Ghana must impose a 10% retaliatory tariff on all its exports to the US. After all, 'what's good for the geese it's good for the gander.'
