Trump's return to power raises concerns for Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus over past tensions

Donald Trump’s return to the White House may complicate relations for Bangladesh's chief adviser, Muhammad Yunus. Their tension dates back to 2016 when Yunus donated to Hillary Clinton's foundation, angering Trump. Trump has publicly criticized Yunus and condemned violence against minorities in Bangladesh, which has increased since Sheikh Hasina's ousting. He has vowed to protect these groups, contrasting with the previous administration's approach. Sheikh Hasina has reached out to Trump, expressing a desire for cooperation. The outgoing Biden administration was working on a financial package for Bangladesh, which may now be uncertain under Trump’s leadership.
