যুক্তরাষ্ট্র–বাংলাদেশ বাণিজ্যচুক্তি: সরকার যা করতে পারে

The United States imposed additional tariffs on Bangladeshi products, initially at 37% which was later reduced to 20% following negotiations. This action was part of a broader US trade policy under President Trump, affecting numerous countries. Bangladesh eventually signed a reciprocal trade agreement (ART) with the US on February 9, 2026, which further reduced the tariff to 19%. This agreement was signed just days before the general election by the interim government, raising questions about the urgency of its finalization.

The agreement's timing and secretive nature have sparked debate regarding its potential impact on national interests and the sovereignty of Bangladesh's trade policies.
