In June, the US Embassy in Accra issued some new visa guidelines that require the presence of former Ghanaian presidents before a visa could be issued. The directive has since been clarified.
Also, in August, Mr Trump signed a new immigration policy to end the popular US visa lottery also known as green card.
The policy has been estimated to have affected some 1.7 million Ghanaians, according to a 2015 statistic by Pew Research Centre.
