#US Tariff#Donald Trump, #Muhammad Yunus# Bangladesh
IBNS-CMEDIA: Bangladesh interim government chief Muhammad Yunus on Friday congratulated trade negotiators after the US imposed 20 percent tariff on it in contrast to the 25 percent slapped on neighbour India.
Muhammad Yunus wrote on X, “Bangladesh secured a 20% tariff rate—comparable to its key apparel-sector competitors such as Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Pakistan, and Indonesia, which received rates between 19% and 20%. As a result, Bangladesh’s relative competitiveness in apparel exports remains unaffected.”
Referring to the tariff imposed on India, the interim chief’s X page statement said: ” By contrast, India received a 25% tariff after failing to reach a comprehensive agreement with the U.S.”
In another X post, he said: ” This achievement not only underscores Bangladesh’s rising strength on the global stage but also opens the door to greater opportunities, accelerated growth, and lasting prosperity.”
He said Bangladesh’s future remains undeniably bright.
“Today’s success stands as a powerful testament to the nation’s resilience and its bold vision for a stronger economy tomorrow,” he said.
