The United States President, Donald Trump has signed an
executive order to allow all Ghana nationals travel to the United States
without visas. The new order, serving as a change in visa policy for Ghanians
traveling to the United States,
would permit them stay in the U.S for a maximum
period of 180 days for Tourism or Business purposes only.
Stay over 180 days would therefore require a visa. Trump
says this measure is to strengthen trade between the United States and Ghana.
However, Ghanaians who hold dual nationality will be banned from entering the
United States if their other passport is from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya,
Somalia and Yemen — the seven Muslim-majority countries “of concern”.
It has emerged that trade and bilateral visa deals have been
discussed by Trump and Ghanaian Diplomats in the States. A source at the White
House has hinted that Trump may revoke Australia’s opportunity of traveling to
the United States without visas after cancelling all trade deals with the
country. Allowing Ghanaians to the United States freely is not the only order
signed into force by Trump since assuming office.
He has signed five new executive orders – including one to
expedite environmental review and approval of high-priority infrastructure
projects.
President Donald Trump signed executive orders to advance
the construction of the controversial Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines.
He also signed an executive order on Monday barring federal
funds from organizations that promote abortion around the world, including the
International Planned Parenthood Federation, in what activists say is the
president’s first major pro-life action while in office.
