Yunus faces challenges with Trump administration due to past criticism
Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh's interim leader, may face challenges with the incoming Trump administration due to his past criticism of Trump. Yunus expressed distress over Trump's 2016 election win, which could complicate future relations.
In a related development, Bangladesh's army chief held a virtual meeting with his Indian counterpart, marking a shift in regional dynamics. This meeting occurred shortly after Trump's victory, indicating potential changes in military cooperation.
Previously, Yunus had support from the Biden administration, which was finalizing a financial package for Bangladesh. In contrast, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reached out to Trump, expressing a desire for future collaboration.
