The United States (US) has welcomed measures taken by Bangladesh’s interim government to ensure safety and security for all in Bangladesh, noting that they “condemn” any instances of violence or intolerance directed toward members of minority communities in any country. “That’s what we’re watching. That’s what we expect. And that will be what continues,” said US State Department’s Spokesperson Tammy Bruce while responding to a question at a regular media briefing in Washington on March 19 when a questioner referred to US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard’s recent remarks. Reacting to remarks made by Tulsi Gabbard, the interim government on Monday said groundlessly linking Bangladesh to the idea of an "Islamist caliphate” undermines the hard work of countless Bangladeshis and their friends and partners around the world who are committed to peace, stability and progress.

Bangladesh, like many countries around the world, has faced challenges of extremism, but it has continuously worked in partnership with the international community, including the US, to address these issues through law enforcement, social reforms, and other counterterrorism efforts, the government said.

The interim government has said they look forward to continuing to work with the United States and Bangladesh’s other friends and allies to combat efforts to manipulate the Trump administration and create divisions between countries through purely invented propaganda. "The Interim Government has complete confidence that President Trump and his team will see through this transparent effort to create friction between Bangladesh and the United States," said the Chief Adviser's press wing on Thursday. The US Department of State and its embassy in Dhaka are well aware that Professor Yunus meets with a wide variety of people, from senior government officials to leaders in business and civil society organisations, including those who are critical of Bangladesh itself, said its fact-checking wing.

The Organiser’s latest canard is that the meeting between Bangladesh’s Chief Adviser Mohammad Yunus and Alex Soros, president of the Open Society Foundation, constituted a challenge to President Trump, said the press wing of the CA.
