Bangladesh’s victory and defeat in US tariff war
After three rounds of discussion, Bangladesh has managed to reduce the increased tariff imposed on its products in the US market from 35 percent to 20 percent. This is not only positive for the country's economy but also a diplomatic success for the interim government. Because when on April 2, US President Donald Trump first announced the rate of additional tariffs on various countries, he stated that a 37 percent additional tariff would be levied on Bangladeshi products. Later, that tariff was suspended temporarily for three months. Trump informed Dr Yunus in a letter that instead of 37, the tariff amount on Bangladesh would be 35 percent, after reducing it by 2 percent.
Science, war, geopolitics and tale of a suicidal axe
Do not awaken the sleeping giant inside the lamp; instead of rewarding you, it might kill you! No, such a statement is not found in the tales of Alif Laila. But the sleeping giant that humanity has awakened makes the genie in the lamp seem insignificant.
No war, peace should be established
India launched missile strikes on Pakistan-administered Kashmir and 'terrorist bases' in Pakistan late on the night of May 6 as a 'reaction' to the attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir. This incident has raised the alarm of war between India and Pakistan, which is worrying not only the Asian and South Asian countries, but the entire world. Both are nuclear-armed countries and a prolonged war between these two countries would not only cause the loss of countless lives on the one hand, but would also have a serious impact on the global economy and politics on the other.
Attacks on foreign brands have ruined the country's image
Of course, Hamas has driven this violent man crazy. Due to its excessive confidence and belief in its own power, Hamas has suddenly attacked inside Israel and killed, tortured, and taken hostage Israeli civilians. In retaliation, Israeli soldiers are shooting wherever there is movement inside Gaza, silencing it. There is no hesitation in the words of the Israeli soldiers, Hamas fighters killed them in October 2023, now they are killing Palestinians. One soldier said, ‘We came to kill them. We are killing their wives, children, dogs, cats - everything.'
Shadow of darkness behind America's democracy in Trump era
Trump came to power in 2016 primarily by taking control of America’s information landscape. His journey in politics has been marked by controversy, with his actions always seeming to run parallel to the divisive nature of his rhetoric. From hate speech to crude attacks on opposing politicians, he has consistently used derogatory language. On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters stormed the senate office at Capitol Hill. Instead of regret, Trump later remarked during a campaign rally that he should not have left the House on that day, despite losing the 2020 presidential election. Now, this very Trump is back in the American throne. Ironically, it is the citizens of the nation that often claims to uphold the most democracy in the world who have brought him back to power, dressed as a king.
