Two senior officials from the Trump administration, Nicole Ann Chulick, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, and Andrew Herrup, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, arrived in Dhaka on April 17, 2025. This marks the first high-level visit from the Trump administration to Bangladesh.
The delegation is set to meet Foreign Adviser Md Touhid Hossain and Foreign Secretary Md Jasim Uddin to discuss various bilateral issues. Key topics include reciprocal tariffs imposed by the US, reforms undertaken by Bangladesh's interim government, and US assistance in the country's democratic transition. Additionally, the Rohingya crisis and Myanmar's political situation are expected to dominate discussions.
Diplomatic sources indicate that Washington may seek clarity on Bangladesh's growing ties with China and its strained relations with India. The US delegation is also likely to address regional security concerns, including the repatriation of undocumented Bangladeshi migrants and the future of US funding for Rohingya refugees.
This visit comes at a critical time, as Bangladesh navigates complex geopolitical dynamics and seeks to strengthen its trade and diplomatic relations with the US.
