The World's most influential state is the United States of America (USA) presidential election today. The US, directly and indirectly, influences other countries' human rights, democratic practices, and other geographical issues.
Before and after the national election of Bangladesh in this term, the US and its allies were more active in Bangladesh's national election process.
Bangladesh is highly connected with migrated Bangladeshi people, migrated wishers, export-oriented trades, and government sustainability with many developing agendas.
Not only Bangladesh but also Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia, Myanmar, Kashmir, and North and South Korean issues are paused for the US election.
Bangladesh is going through a changing situation after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, the interim government has undertaken various reforms There is an urge for elections. The administration of US President Joe Biden has been supporting Yunus' government since the beginning Analysts of international politics believe that support will continue if the Democratic presidential candidate, current vice president Kamala Harris, wins the election. Bangladesh’s people believe the deep relation with Helary Clinton and Dr professor Muhammad Yunus.
Diplomats, however, do not think so But they think that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a big influence on Trump If Trump wins, Narendra Modi will want to influence India's relationship with Bangladesh According to analysts, the outcome will not be such that Trump will want to reinstate the Hasina government
Former diplomat Shakib Ali said, "It's easy to say what will happen if Kamala Harris becomes US president." Because she will protect the continuity of Joe Biden's policies she will follow the policies of the Democrats But if Trump comes to power, he will end the Ukraine war anyway however, if Israel's policy is tougher, the crisis in the Middle East may increase.
Immigration is one of Trump's campaign issues M Humayun Kabir, the former ambassador of Bangladesh to the United States, believes that if he wins, there will be a change in the immigration policy of the United States It can be a problem for Bangladeshi immigrants, Bangladeshi students who go there to study he said, "those of Bangladesh who are there may also suffer." And if Trump wins, it is not sure whether funds will be available for the Rohingyas as before." However, he thinks that there is no danger of negative impact on business.
Former Ambassador Major General (Retd.) Md. Shahidul Haque said that the people of the world got an idea of Trump's policy from his previous tenure Said, "Putin's ally Trump, it is a matter of seeing which direction the world will take this time." He wants to make America richer his interest is in the United States.
Trump recently wrote in his X message, "I strongly condemn the brutal violence against Hindus, Christians and other minorities in Bangladesh. They are being attacked and looted in groups in the country Bangladesh is now in a state of total anarchy.”
Humayun Kabir, who served as Bangladesh's ambassador to the US from 2007 to 2009 said, "It's actually a matter of voting in the election rather than policy." Indian immigrants and immigrant Hindus have a role to play in US elections Trump may be trying to win their votes with his words In his last term also, he spoke about the persecution of minorities in Bangladesh Awami League government was in power at that time.
Some analysts say there are usually no major changes in US foreign policy even when governments change but there is a difference in the politics of Democrats and Republicans have own thoughts and views In that regard, there is a big difference between Kamala Harris and Trump Bangladesh should take it into account.
Diplomat Saqib Ali said, "If the Democrats come to power again, the current government in Bangladesh will benefit if Kamala Harris becomes the US president." It will be easier for them to do their reforms, elections Because Joe Biden has already given his support.
In this case, if Trump is in power, he thinks that the US administration may not have this good relationship with the Yunus government Shakib Ali said, "I am not saying that he (Trump) will reverse everything." However, it should be understood that the United States and India have faced each other over Bangladesh in this area that will change if Trump is elected Modi factor will work Because the relationship between Trump and Modi is very good so Bangladesh has to be careful.
Former Ambassador Major General (Retd.) Md. Shahidul Haque said, "Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be a factor in Bangladesh-US relations if Trump wins." And for his relationship with Trump, he would like Trump to think about Bangladesh it will not be complete Still Modi will try it can have an impact So the current government should not be in routine diplomacy Be more proactive.”
According to analysts, lobbyists in the US are already active on Bangladesh, they will be more active after elections lobbyists can influence US policy on many issues.
However, the press secretary of the interim government said that they do not think that the results of the US presidential election will create any challenge in relations with Bangladesh In an event in Dhaka on Sunday, Shafiqul Alam said, "As a world leader, senior leaders of both parties (Republican Party and Democratic Party of the United States) have a very good relationship with Dr Yunus."
The press secretary said, "Relationships depend a lot on personal contact." Professor Yunus is a world leader whether it's Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, whoever wins the US election, there will be no problem in our relationship."
Referring to Donald Trump's post condemning the "brutal violence" against Hindus, Christians and other minorities in Bangladesh, he said, "Donald Trump's statement on minorities in Bangladesh is a purely internal political matter and lobbyists may have influenced the issue."
