Trump administration alarmed by Bangladesh's rising extremism
The Trump administration is increasingly concerned about rising lawlessness and extremism in Bangladesh, particularly regarding the persecution of religious minorities. This concern aligns with India's views on the situation. Tulsi Gabbard, during her visit to India, met with top officials to discuss security cooperation and intelligence sharing. She emphasized the ongoing persecution of minorities, including Hindus and Christians, as a significant issue for the U.S. This shift in focus marks a departure from the previous Biden administration's approach, which offered support to Bangladesh's leadership. Critics suggest that the Biden administration may have influenced political changes in the country.
