Fact-checking organization DismissalLab has reported that Donald Trump provided incorrect information regarding the $29.9 million U.S. aid package aimed at strengthening Bangladesh’s political environment. Contrary to Trump’s claim that the funds went to two individuals, the aid was implemented through Democracy International, a U.S.-registered organization managing 218 projects worldwide, including 12 in Bangladesh. Under these programs, 536 young leaders from the Awami League, BNP, and Jatiya Party received training, while The Hunger Project trained 5,410 political activists in tolerance and inclusive political engagement. Additionally, $2 million was allocated to a separate U.S. agency, which collaborated with Dhaka University’s research team on peaceful political activities across Bangladesh.
