US Policy on Bangladesh: A Call for Policy Shift
Bangladesh is going through political changes.
The US has been involved, with different viewpoints on how to help.
After protests, an interim leader took over, with support from President Biden.
However, some, like Michael Rubin, think this is a bad move, possibly influenced by outside groups like Pakistan.
They suggest that the US should change its support.
The author thinks the US should not trust the current interim leader and believes the US should support previous leadership.
Protests led to the resignation of Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
President Biden supported interim leader Muhammad Yunus.
Critics allege Yunus is persecuting political opponents and promoting radical ideologies.
Michael Rubin criticizes Biden's policies and Rubio's similar stance.
The author argues for a policy shift, including sanctions and support for previous leadership.
