Bangladesh is maintaining ongoing discussions to finalize a tariff agreement with the United States. In the latest round of talks held on Thursday, Dr. Khalilur Rahman led the Bangladesh delegation, while Brendan Lynch, the U.S. Assistant Trade Representative, headed the American side.

According to the Press Wing, substantial progress has been made during these discussions. Dr. Rahman, the former Head of Trade Policy at UNCTAD, stated that both parties are working diligently to conclude the agreement swiftly.

Sources indicate that the agreement aims to secure relief from the additional 37% tariffs imposed during the Trump administration. A draft of the agreement has already been sent to Bangladesh by the U.S., and Dhaka has submitted its feedback to Washington for further review.
