America has withdrawn $160m USAID support to Ghana – Franklin Cudjoe reminds Ablakwa for giving US Senator Jim Risch a showdown
The United States has reportedly withdrawn its USAID support to Ghana, ending an annual financial assistance package estimated at $160 million, according to Franklin Cudjoe, Founding President of IMANI Africa.
Cudjoe made the revelation in response to Foreign Affairs Minister, Okudzeto Ablakwa who recently pushed back against comments from U.S. senator Jim Risch urging Ghana to settle debts owed to American companies.
“And by the way, America has withdrawn its USAID support for Ghana.
"The close to $160 million Ghana receives annually from the US will come no more, so really, you will not be subsidising Ghana,” Cudjoe stated.
He criticised the minister’s remarks as shortsighted, especially in light of evolving trade and diplomatic ties between the two countries.
