The Bangladesh Mission in Washington DC has formally alerted the government on the potential implications of the United States’ newly adopted labor policy, saying it could target Bangladesh.
“Although the ‘memorandum’ appears to be a global policy applicable to all countries, there are reasons to believe that Bangladesh may have been one of the targets,” the Washington mission said in a letter.
It was also said that this policy is a signal to Bangladesh as the US can take any of the measures mentioned in the policy in the name of labor issues. Furthermore, the memorandum may have an impact on the apparel sector especially in Bangladesh.
