Notably, Sheikh Hasina herself has previously alluded to US meddling in bangladesh, where there were accusations that the US was responsible for a planned regime change. The White House, however, disregarded the allegations and insisted that US involvement in the bangladesh issue existed.
When a high-level US team visited Muhammad Yunus in Dhaka on september 15, they promised to deepen political and economic connections in order to build a more inclusive and equitable future for the nation's citizens.
