“We send our heartfelt best wishes to President Trump and the American people during this difficult time, and we pray for his swift and complete recovery,” President Akufo-Addo added.
The attempted assassination has sparked international condemnation and raised discussions on the safety and security of political leaders.
Details of the incident are still emerging, and investigations are ongoing.
Meanwhile, the US Secret Service says it is working to discover "what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again".
Its chief, Kimberly Cheatle, has been summoned to testify before a committee of the US House of Representatives on 22 July.
