President John Dramani Mahama has extended heartfelt condolences to U.S. President Donald Trump in the wake of the devastating floods that struck Central Texas on July 4, 2025.

In a letter dated July 8, President Mahama expressed Ghana’s deep sorrow over the tragic event.
“We are particularly saddened by the fact that many persons remain missing. On behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Ghana, and in my own name, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Your Excellency, the Government, and the people of the United States of America, especially the bereaved families and all those affected by this tragic calamity,” the letter said.
President Mahama commended President Trump for his leadership and praised the tireless efforts of emergency responders, local authorities, and volunteers working under difficult conditions to rescue and support affected communities.
“Ghana stands in full solidarity with the Government and people of the United States during this moment of grief and national mourning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all,” Mahama stated, concluding with a reaffirmation of Ghana’s highest consideration and support.
