Sheikh Hasina: The Leader Who Rebuilt Bangladesh, Now Facing Scrutiny from the West
For over four decades, Sheikh Hasina has been at the forefront of Bangladesh’s transformation—from a fragile post-colonial state to an emerging voice on the global stage.

This expansion is not only altering global trade flows but also directly challenging U.S. dominance, prompting Washington to reassess its alliances and strategies to retain its global leadership.
