US-Bangladesh Trade Deal: Dhaka Opens Dairy, Poultry to American Imports

• Bangladesh has agreed to significantly expand market access for US goods, including dairy, beef, and poultry products, under a new trade framework.
• The deal provides preferential access for US-made cars, medical devices, energy products, and commits Bangladesh to align with US intellectual property standards.
• In return, Bangladesh's garments made with US cotton and synthetic fibers will receive zero reciprocal tariffs, incentivizing a shift to American supply chains.
• Dhaka has committed to substantial long-term purchases, including $3.5 billion in US agricultural products and $15 billion in energy products over 15 years.
• The agreement contrasts sharply with India's trade engagement with the US, where New Delhi protected its agriculture and dairy sectors from American imports.
