What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bangladesh signed the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) with the United States on February 9, 2026, under the outgoing interim administration of Muhammad Yunus. The agreement, which was dictated by the Donald Trump administration, has drawn severe criticism for being a mere acceptance of external terms. The new parliament has not scrutinized the agreement since taking office.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The agreement is considered the most sweeping and asymmetric among the ten countries that signed the ART. Critics note that Bangladesh rushed to sign first among South Asian nations, despite having lower exports and a smaller trade surplus with the US compared to other countries. The process has introduced significant political risk regarding the agreement's legitimacy.

Donald Trump launched an interim trade agreement and is currently negotiating a trade deal with India.
