Could Trump’s Victory Boost Bangladesh’s Garment Exports to the US?

Donald Trump’s election victory might open new opportunities for Bangladeshi garment exports to the US. During his campaign, Trump proposed higher import duties on Chinese goods, a move that could shift orders for Chinese-made garments to other countries. Bangladeshi entrepreneurs are hopeful that their industry could capture a share of this redirected demand. In Trump’s first term, the US-China trade war led to additional orders for Bangladeshi products, which contributed to an increase in the country’s exports. A similar trend could emerge if these policies are revived.
