Why do the other countries tax US made goods like that? America's action is fair as others have been screwing US for long.
If Donald Trump were not to be A PROPER MAD ANIMAL, would he have extended his SENSELESS TARRIFF WARS to Africa..???? Has Africa ever engaged in any Trade War with the West..???? Do they not dictate the kind of goods and mate ...

I TOLD U NPP = NKWASIAFUO PEOPLE'S PARTY. UMOUFIA CARTOONS CONCERT CATHEDRAL
And what's GH doing? Once GH is not mentioned it means the US gets net benefits for GH and so for reciprocity GH must seek to increase tariff on US goods to bring the balance to zero
It means Ghana doesn’t export a lot to America to warrant attention period.
A new page in 2025's chapters is opened to U, write on it what you wish! Plant, don't plant, write, don't write, learn, don't learn - it's all in your Hands!!! But I assure U, what U will earn in 1 day can never be compared t ...

For those who know not, tariffs will raise prices on the American consumer, passed on by the importer. The world has 8.3 billion people,the US 0.34 billion do the math guess who loses. US produces only arms and ammunition, th ...

The High import tax will reduce the importation of America goods and increase production in the countries affected. Let us appreciate our own. Eat made in Ghana food and wear made in Ghana cloth
Very little goods & materials come from America to our country Ghana now! America has become terribly expensive, and they have lost to the big Asian nations for a couple of decades now. The comforting prediction is that, Amer ...

What's your beef with reciprocal tariffs? America is saying if you tax me 10% I will also tax you same. If you allow 0% tariff then you won't be taxed bringing your stuff to America. Manufacturing is expensive in those countr ...

The higher taxes and tariffs will rather increase the prices of African products in American markets therefore making it more expensive for Americans to patronize African products.
Trump is trying to promote American product ...

Smart guy!
African countries only have to come together and trade among themselves and not putting hefty taxes on their goods and it shall be well
Which will never happen.Africans envy and hate themselves too much to cooperate.
@Kwame, your statement is a hugely flawed one! Africans don't really hate themselves. They simply lack the capital & "tailored system" needed to ensure the smooth implementation of regional markets. But they can start off by ...

@Kwame.. you are absolutely right, only gullible Ghanaians don't know this fact. Most of them smile nicely, nicely to us but also ready with the dagger when you turn.
For once, I'm reading some sensible comments on Ghanaweb. Shockingly impressive !
Just what I thought!
PROBABLY THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR AMERICA. NO COUNTRY IS AN ISLAND IN THIS WORLD. THE WORLD POLICE WHICH IS AT THE SAME TIME THE WORLD BULLY WHO IS ALWAYS PLAYING THE VICTIM CANNOT FIGHT THE WHOLE WORLD. AND I AM SURPRISE ...

Explain to me how other countries can tarrif US products but American shouldn't do same
So when is Ghana going to declare itself as a self reliant and depend on our own rice, maize, oil, gold and the rest?
Pizza hut, kentucky and youbg boys wearing their trousers aroubd their ankles. Its time to make Ghana Great Again when young boys and men used to tie their trouser belt on their stomachs and everyone respects them!
Trump is doing it all. He’s doing a good job to shape his country economy. Trump is a great guy. His signature has got no space in it.
So, why can’t African take bold measures to start trading among themselves and also put some measures that will make the west who comes in for it’s minerals to think twice, when coming in to bully us and getting cheap dea ...

There is no evil that doesn’t bring some good, as the saying goes. Why should African countries not trade among themselves?
He thinks he is running one of his fake bankrupt companies instead of a country!

Trump did same in 2018 and failed, this time, he is going to fall woefully.
President trump is a great guy it take few people to really understand him. I think Ghanaian leaders should learn from him.
These Chinese are taking advantage of our leadership flaws. They bring in junk goods and ship out th ...

So why doesn't Africa put tariffs on raw materials going to the West?
@john do you understand your question or you have no understanding of what we are talking about. You can only put tariffs on imports. Hope you are not offended for being corrected.
John you are getting it wrong. We can put tarrif on imports from America to encourage consumption of Ghana made products not on exports.
Trump is having mental problems. It's rather unfortunate Americans cannot make out this problem and have it solved. He will wake up one day and blow up the US.
I think trump is helping africa in the long run, that is we will begin to rely on our local products and ability which will make us improve in divers ways.
We can also say that about Ghana. Let all regions rely on their own local products and ability. Let the Northern Regions only eat tuo zaafi, waakye, hauda kooko Accra only stick to their Ga Kenkey and fish, Volta only Yotke ...

I understand the man that
We need to develop our continent and country
The goods we export to them can make us rich

They should cut back on the wasteful consumerism which requires excessive borrowing.
They should stop sacrificing for their billionaires and start transferring money to the poor and MAGA will be real.
