The recent trade agreement between Bangladesh and the United States marks a significant shift in economic relations, particularly benefiting the Bangladeshi garment sector. As reported by Profit by Pakistan Today, the agreement reduces U.S. tariffs on Bangladeshi exports to 19%, with exemptions for textiles made using U.S. materials. Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh's interim chief advisor, highlighted that Washington committed to a mechanism allowing certain goods using U.S.-produced cotton to receive zero tariffs in the U.S. market. This agreement, formalized after nine months of negotiations, also includes Bangladesh's commitment to increase purchases of U.S. goods, including $3.5 billion in agricultural products and $15 billion in energy products over 15 years. The White House noted that Bangladesh will ease non-tariff barriers by recognizing U.S. standards and certifications (Profit by Pakistan Today, February 10, 2026).
