The United States says it would be imposing visa restrictions on Ghana, accusing the West African country of not cooperating in accepting its citizens ordered removed from the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had ordered consular officers in Ghana to implement visa restrictions on certain categories of visa applicants,” according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Without an appropriate response from Ghana, the scope of these sanctions may be expanded to a wider population. Ghana has failed to live up to its obligations under international law to accept the return of its nationals ordered removed from the United States,” said DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
“We hope the Ghanaian government will work with us to reconcile these deficiencies quickly,” she said.
