Thanking US President Donald Trump for his latest decision on tariff issue, Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus has said they will continue to work with the Trump Administration in support of his trade agenda.

"Thank you, Mr President, for responding positively to our request for 90-day pause on tariffs. We will continue to work with your administration in support of your trade agenda," Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said quoting the Chief Adviser as saying.

Facing the cratering of global markets, Trump on Wednesday backed off his tariffs on most nations for 90 days, saying countries were lining up to negotiate more favorable conditions.

Chief Adviser Dr Yunus, earlier wrote to US President Donald Trump, urging him to delay the implementation of reciprocal tariff measures on Bangladesh for three months.

In a letter, Prof Yunus requested the postponement the tariffs allowing the interim government sufficient time to implement its initiative aimed at significantly boosting US exports to Bangladesh.

Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder confirmed to UNB regarding the letter.

"We are the first country to take such a pro-active initiative", he said in his letter, citing the visit of High Representative Dr Khalilur Rahman to Washington DC in February.

Ever since, the two sides have been working closely to identify specific actions, he said.

Bangladesh is also the first country to enter into a multi-year agreement to import liquefied natural gas from the US.
