Trump Appoints Committee to Decipher Sinhala Letter from President Anura Kumara Dissanayake
Washington, D.C. â April 8, 2025
In an unexpected twist of international diplomacy, former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has reportedly appointed a special committee to understand a formal letter written in Sinhala by Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake. The letter, which addresses concerns over recently imposed reciprocal tariffs on Sri Lankan exports to the United States, has become the focal point of media and political discourse in both countries.
Sri Lanka's Minister of Labour, , confirmed the correspondence during a press briefing earlier today, emphasizing the significance of the letter as a formal diplomatic protest and an appeal for reconsideration of the tariffs.
"President Dissanayake conveyed Sri Lankaâs position in his mother tongue to emphasize the cultural and political seriousness of the matter. It is not just about tradeâit is about mutual respect," Minister said.
Trump-appointed committee, informally dubbed the "Sinhala Understanding Task Force," reportedly consists of language experts, trade analysts, and foreign policy advisors. While Trump is no longer the sitting president, his influence within key Republican circles and among U.S. trade lobbies remains considerable
According to sources close to the Trump , the president found the letter "beautifully scripted" but admitted, "I had no idea what it saidâbut it looked very important." He later added, âWeâre going to understand exactly what theyâre trying to say. No one sends me a letter I canât read.
