Only the ruling party has the power to negotiate a deal with the USA. Everyone else is wasting their time.

Yes 100% correct. Now AKD must talk to Trump directly either by phone or even visit him personally to solve the major problem. Sajith, Ranil or Mahinda or Gota cannot do anything.

Dude, I'm certain Julie Chung doesn't give a crap about what you say or do like the rest of us. The reason she couldn't turn down your request to meet her is simply diplomacy.

Is the honourable opposition leader a tall man or a short guy?

Is Saith crazy? Doesn't he know the protocol? Only the ruling party has the right to ask for action. All of these guys have no voice? I won't be surprised if I see a Rajapakse guy has met with Julie Chung to discuss Tariffs. It looks like clowns in a circus. Who is pulling the string?

Sajith needs to realize that he is not qualified to represent the Sri Lankan government and that the people did not give him the mandate to govern the nation this time. He published such news after having a casual meeting with the US Ambassador. He should do constructive work to rebuild his party instead of making jokes like this to attract attention.

Now SJB is trying to show much concern over the country which is most appreciable. NPP is only concerned about Monkeys and Donkeys as per Lal Kantha. AKD this is a bad sign putha, keep your men under control otherwise your party will be ruined.

Sajith's concern will be about our poor Garment Factory workers which his father established. If the Govt. is going to keep quiet, Trump will be ruined our Industries, and we will face another crisis soon.

Sajith same time, please meet Ranil Wickramasinghe also and plead on behalf of SriLankans to save from the crisis again.

A born loser. When he had the chance, he stipulated conditions. He is power hungry as RW. Believes that The Presidency is his birth right. Not a good leader either as the best people who formed the party are gone now, replaced by the crooks and rejects of other parties. EGO! Wants a bunch of 'yes' men to assure that the leadership is kept in the 'family'.

Most politicians are corrupt as they look for their benefit. Good example is robbing the President funds in huge sums claiming their dwellings are burned by riot etc. Ranil reciprocated to gain their support for the election, which backfired to his demise. Am surprised why he cannot meet AKD and discuss about the tariff imposed by Trump and try to find the best solution for our country. In some way the Oppn leader should be applauded for meeting Julie Chan to seek her help for the betterment of the ppl of SL. US tariff could cripple our economy and detrimental to our garment sector. We urge the govt to take immediate steps to send a team of responsible MPs together with members of Oppn to USA to discuss reduction of the tariff citing our economy recovery programme with IMF.

Guess what, Julie is still looking at the dictionary to figure what exactly Sajith had discussed with her.

Stop wasting the Ambassador’s time! These fellows have nothing better to do, so go and disrupt someone else’s busy schedule.

Too late. Our president already sent a letter requesting relief from Tariff and immediately all other nations benefited from it as our president explained in clear language what would tariff do to both parties. So the world leaders and all Sri Lankans should be thankful of the visionary leadership of our President.
