US to support Bangladesh in dealing with refugee crisis

The United States has assured Bangladesh of its support in dealing with the Myanmar Rohingya refugee crisis.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister’s press secretary and a U.S. embassy official said a letter from President Trump to this effort was handed over to Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at a meeting with U.S. Ambassador Marcia Bernicat in Dhaka.

President Trump said in a letter that United States will continue to pressure Myanmar to create necessary conditions for the safe and voluntary return of the Rohingya people.

He also said those in Myanmar responsible for instigating the crisis must be held accountable. APP
