President holds key-talks following revised US tariffs

Date:

July 10, Colombo (LNW): President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said he held a meeting at the Presidential Secretariat as a follow-up to the updated tariff imposed on Sri Lanka by the United States.

“I held a discussion at the Presidential Secretariat this morning (10) with representatives involved in the relevant process regarding the next steps to be taken by our government following the reduction of the previously imposed U.S. tariff rate from 44 per cent to 30 per cent,” the President wrote.

Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Sri Lanka is amongst a group of countries targeted for newly imposed tariffs.

Trump personally issued formal notices to the respective heads of state, confirming the measures, and signalled further action may be imminent. He indicated that more countries would soon be added to the growing list, stating online that additional announcements were expected the same day.
