Sheikh Hasina calls herself Bangladesh prime minister in letter to Trump as Yunus faces challenges

economictimes.indiatimes.com November 8, 2024, 10:01 AM UTC

Sheikh Hasina, the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, congratulated Donald Trump on his election victory, referring to herself as the "Prime Minister of Bangladesh." This marks a shift in her political stance as she seeks to strengthen ties with the U.S.

Hasina's letter highlights her past interactions with Trump and expresses a commitment to advancing bilateral interests. This contrasts with the current interim regime led by Muhammad Yunus, who may face challenges due to his previous critical remarks about Trump.

Yunus's administration has been criticized for rising violence against minorities in Bangladesh, particularly Hindus. Trump's condemnation of this violence could complicate Yunus's relationship with the new U.S. administration.
