Yunus highlights mutual interests in letter to Trump as Bangladesh seeks collaboration
Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh's interim government, congratulated U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in a letter, highlighting the long-standing friendship between Bangladesh and the U.S. He expressed hope for collaboration on global challenges.
Yunus emphasized a commitment to peace and inclusivity, signaling Bangladesh's willingness to work with Trump's administration. This marks a shift from his previous criticisms of Trump, including a past comment describing Trump's 2016 victory as an "eclipse."
Despite the formal greeting, Yunus's ties to prominent Democrats, including the Clintons, have raised questions about his alignment with Trump. Observers note that Yunus's liberal views may contrast with Trump's policies.
