Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus has written to US President Donald Trump seeking a three-month pause to biting tariffs on the world's second-biggest garment manufacturer, the government said in a statement on Monday.

"Bangladesh will take all necessary actions to fully support your trade agenda," Yunus told Trump, according to a government statement, requesting the pause to allow Dhaka to "substantially increase" US exports to the South Asian nation.
