Bangladesh's U.S. buying spree has yet to bring a substantial export boost

Nikkei Asia reports Bangladesh signed purchasing agreements worth billions of dollars for Boeing aircraft, liquefied natural gas and grains after a February 2026 trade agreement with the U.S. Its exports to the U.S. have yet to see a substantial boost as it waits for the pact to be implemented. U.S.-bound garment exports fell 7.55% year over year from February through July.
