Bangladesh’s Commerce Minister Khandaker Abdul Muktadir has stated that recent adjustments to US tariff frameworks will not generate fresh economic pressure on the country.
The minister emphasized that while the regulatory structure has changed, the actual tariff rates applied to Bangladeshi goods remain unchanged, effectively neutralizing potential shock to export markets.
The comment comes as global markets digest a wave of US trade policy updates.
Multiple wire services, including The Daily Star and New York Times Business, have reported on the minister’s assessment, noting that the administration is seeking to reassure investors and trading partners amid broader geopolitical trade tensions.
The assurance aims to stabilize sentiment in sectors heavily reliant on US imports, particularly textiles and apparel.
This development follows a period of heightened scrutiny on US trade practices.
