Yunus writes to Trump, asks for three-month reprieve from 37 pc tariff increase

Dhaka, Apr 7 (UNI) With the country hit by sluggish economic growth and instability, Bangladesh Chief Advisor Mohammed Yunus has written to US President Donald Trump asking for a three-month reprieve from the massive 37% tariffs slapped on exports to the US.
In addition, he offered a 50% cut in Bangladesh import duties on all American exports, according to The Business Standard BD.
As per the official letter received by The Business Standard BD, the move aims to buy Dhaka time for revising its import-export tolls, and implement the ongoing planned measures to boost imports from the United States.
