From the last few months, mass scale violence and unrest has rocked the nation of Bangladesh. Taking a jibe at the Biden government in the United States, Former Spiritual Advisor to Donald Trump expressed dismay over the approach to deal with the Bangladesh crisis. In an exclusive interview with ANI, he exuded confidence in Donald Trump’s regime, and asserted that his government will shape a brighter future for the whole world. "I am astonished that the current administration hasn't been paying more attention to Bangladesh. But the fact of the matter is, that one of the reasons why there's going to be a change of administration in the United States in just a few weeks is because the foreign policy of this administration has not paid attention to a lot of issues. That's why there are more than 50 conflicts all around the world, more since World War II. But I can also tell you this, Donald Trump is coming to town in Washington DC and he's coming to town with an incredible team of advocates for American values, that view countries like India as indispensable allies in shaping the future of the world..." says Johnnie Moore, former US Commissioner on International Religious Freedom (Trump & Biden Admins) on being asked about the US's stance amid ongoing violence against minorities in Bangladesh.
