Exports to US will increase, not decrease: Press Secretary 

Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has said there is no need to be panic about the suspension of export orders. We have repeatedly said that we will take some steps so that Bangladesh’s exports to the US will increase, not decrease. 

He said this at a press briefing at the Intercontinental Hotel in the capital on Monday (April 7). 

Responding to a question from journalists, Shafiqul Alam said, “I think these are short-term. There is no need to be panic about these. We have repeatedly said that we will take some steps so that Bangladesh’s exports to the US will increase, not decrease”. 

He said, “A very good meeting was held with businessmen yesterday (April 6). Former BGME President Faruk Hasan, BKMEA Executive President Mohammad Hatem, Tapan Chowdhury, Nasim Manzur, Lubana Haque and others were present there. I told them we are taking steps so our exports to the US will increase”.

In response to another question about sending a letter to Donald Trump, the Press Secretary said, “Our letter is a big message.”
