The government must initiate direct negotitiations with the White House over the tariff deal without focusing only on negotiations with the US Department of Commerce and Trade representatives, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said today.
He told Parliament that there are instances where the White House has changed the decisions of the Department of Commerce and Trade representatives over tariffs.
The Oppostion Leader said the government must create direct links with the White House and said the governemnt must at least reach out to the Cheif of Staff of the White House over the matter.
“If there are Sri Lankan caucuses in the Senate and the US House of Representatives, Sri Lanka needs to reach out to those senators and House Representatives over the matter,†he said.
Premadasa said the Opposition is ready to support the government to secure the best deal for Sri Lanka.
