The United States said on Thursday it was imposing visa restrictions on Ghana, accusing the African country of not cooperating in accepting its citizens ordered removed from the United States.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “has ordered consular officers in Ghana to implement visa restrictions on certain categories of visa applicants,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.
“Without an appropriate response from Ghana, the scope of these sanctions may be expanded to a wider population,” the statement said.
“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 said.
“We hope the Ghanaian government will work with us to reconcile these deficiencies quickly,” she said.

We are ***barred word*** hole country
I live in NYC. Every Nigerian caught claims to be ghanaian. That’s what they do. Every time! And the whites don’t know any better. As soon as you ask these ‘so called Ghanaians ‘ where they’re from, they say Ghana, Accra or Kumasi. When you then turn to speak twi or ga with them, they smile and say they’re Nigerian. Ghana government: sift through them rigorously and send only your own citizens back! Thanks.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Ghana Ambassador to USA have failed the country. Therefore in this regard they must be changed from their portfolios. I don't think they're up to the task. Their are more qualified NPP professionals wbo can do better than what we're seeing
Tell Mike Pompeo, that nobody is even wanting to even visit the US under His and Trump administration, Ghanaians will rather wait until your Government is defeated by the Democrats. There is nothing good in America right now and you know it. Nobody want to go there under your fake Administration. You can sanction us or go to hell))
No we will not cooperate, please give the people stay in America. What have they done that you are sending them here
