Bangladesh yesterday sent its position paper to the United States Trade Representative (USTR), the chief trade negotiation body for the American government, and sought July 26 as the new date for launching the third and final round of tariff talks with the Trump administration.
Commerce Secretary Mahbubur Rahman told a English News Paper over the phone that the USTR can set the date at its convenience, any time from July 26 onwards.
The negotiation team from Bangladesh will fly to America once the USTR fixes a date for the talks, he said.
Upon its return from the second round of negotiations, Bangladesh has prepared its formal proposal to the US as the negotiations will have to be completed by the end of this month.
