Reacting to the imposition of a 10% tariff on Ghanaian goods by US President Trump, Ho West MP Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah emphasized the urgency of strengthening intra-African trade through AfCFTA.
The MP called for a bold shift in trade priorities:
"If they really need us and they want to work with us, they should have given us an opportunity through the AGOA… then let's leave you and do your own thing," he told Sputnik Africa.
In his view, this moment is not just a challenge—but a call to action for economic self-reliance across Africa.
