Ruling Awami League thinks that friendship relation between Bangladesh and the United States will grow stronger with the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election.
According to the leaders of the party, United States determines their foreign and trade policies with reality. That is why there is no reason for any party to think otherwise with this election result.
Awami League Presidium Member and Health Minister Mohammad Nasim said, ‘We have no reason to cheer up at the presidential election of the United States. The US determines their policies with reality. They don’t do anything against the national interest. However, we think, relation between Bangladesh and the United States will be boosted with the victory of Donald Trump. We hope, he (Trump) will send back the killer of Bangabandhu for justice.’ Another Presidium Member of the ruling party Dr Muhammad Abdur Razzak said, ‘The present government is fighting against militancy and terrorism. The US government also doing that. In this regard, the two countries have common interest. So our friendly ties will grow stronger.’
Muhammad Zamir, a member of advisory panel of Awami League and a former diplomat, said, ‘The US will never determine its external policy at the cost of national interest. So this is not a matter to research who is hurt and who will be encouraged by Trump’s victory.’ Awami League Joint-Secretary Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif said, ‘The US determines their external policy with reality. So there is no reason to be cheered. We always respect public opinion.’
