A big deal is going to be made between Trump and Yunus. Will Bangladesh become America’s new friend?:

News India Live, Digital Desk: There is going to be a huge change in the geopolitics of South Asia. Preparations are underway for a trade deal between US President Donald Trump and the interim government of Bangladesh, which can change the fate of Dhaka. At the center of this deal are ‘Zero Tariff’ and Boeing aircraft worth billions of dollars, which has increased both the concerns and curiosity of neighboring countries including India.

What is Trump’s ‘zero tariff’ plan?

Donald Trump can make a big offer to Bangladesh under his ‘America First’ policy. Under this deal, America can eliminate or minimize import duty on Bangladeshi products, especially garments.

IMF loan and desperation to recover from economic crisis

Bangladesh is currently facing a deep economic crisis and shortage of foreign exchange reserves. It needs a huge loan from the IMF. Experts believe that this trade agreement with America can play the role of ‘guarantor’ in helping Bangladesh get easy loan from IMF.

What does this mean for India?

India is keeping a close eye on this entire incident. If Bangladesh gets special trade concessions from the US, then:

Competition in Garment Sector: It will become more difficult for the Indian textile industry to compete with Bangladesh in the global market.

Strategic Impact: America’s increasing presence in the Bay of Bengal will be important for India’s security interests.

Shock to China: This deal can remove Bangladesh from China’s economic influence and bring it to America’s side.

Boeing jets and trade balance

America wants Bangladesh to choose American Boeing aircraft instead of European Airbus to expand its aviation services. This is part of Trump’s strategy in which he puts pressure on allies to buy American products to reduce the trade deficit.
