President Nancy Pelosi deserves praise for her historic speech that she graciously delivered in front of the Ghanaian Parliament earlier today.

His speech was a wonderful reminder of the ancestral bond we share, of our shared commitment to fighting injustice as we commemorate the return of our centennial, and Ghana's enviable reputation among nations, especially of its Ghanaian armed forces for their contribution to globalization. peace operations since the first deployment to Congo in 1960 under the visionary guidance of President Kwame Nkrumah, the world's most famous pan-Africanist, who featured prominently in President Pelosi's speech.

I was pleasantly struck by her frank focus on multilateralism and the need for countries to work together while she praised Ghana's leadership on the 2016 agreement on climate change in Paris, despite the unfortunate withdrawal of President Trump from the agreement.

However, I regret his silence on the visa restrictions imposed by President Trump in Ghana and his uncompromising immigration policy that continues to target thousands of Ghanaian and other African emigrants to the United States. United.

One of the important conclusions of this visit must be the understanding by the visiting high-level delegation that many in Ghana rely on the strong and dynamic leadership of President Pelosi and on the incredible members of the Congress Black Caucus, who will remain etched in the memoirs of our party, that the House controlled by the Democrats should be a voice of conscience to build bridges and tear down all the walls

We wish the esteemed delegation mercy trips.

Long live the US-Ghanaian relations.
