President Anura Kumara Dissanayake says Sri Lanka must respond as one nation, beyond political divisions, to the challenges arising from recent US tariff measures.
He made these remarks today (07) at an election rally in Galle.
“There’s an unfavourable situation in the global geopolitical environment right now. Certain decisions have been taken that are affecting our exports. We are actively engaged in discussions to resolve the matter,” he said.
The President noted that while the situation was unexpected, the government is planning how to address the issue without allowing the country’s economy to fall back into crisis.
“We must face this as a nation. Our economy is showing strong progress. But to maintain that, we must be ready to confront challenges like this together. I call on all citizens to stand united and contribute to preventing further complications,” he said. (NewsWire)
