Sri Lanka, Aug. 1 -- While expressing his happiness on the US government's decision to cut tariffs to 20% for Sri Lankan goods, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said today that Sri Lanka should aim at getting the tariff reduced to 15 percent.

"The reduction of the US tariff to 20 percent will put us with Vietnam and Bangladesh while India pays 25 %. We should aim at under 15% to give our exporters a real lift. We should have a team of trade economists and lead negotiators to keep pushing," Premadasa said in his X message.
