Who the hell are you to dictate terms to US, you are just a podiyan Amunugama. They will impose more sanction if you try to talk big. They are at liberty to advise all American citizens like the British are entitled do the same. No law and order in the country for sure

Clean our own corrupt lawless stables before asking Americans to stop their travel advise to visit our miracle Isle.

Before requesting America to lift the ban, try to introduce a good Policing, Independent Judiciary and Uncorrupted Prosecutors, avoid Political interference in law and order matters and Stop favoritism to the political supporter by Ministers and Higher Officers in the judicial matters to make confidence in the mind of foreigners.
