In July 2025, the United States imposed retaliatory tariffs of up to 35% on various export products from Bangladesh, including ready-made garments. Simultaneously, the Bangladesh government decided to import 700,000 tons of wheat from the US.

Comment mesurer le changement climatique ? L'une des méthodes consiste à enregistrer la température à différents endroits sur une longue période. Même si cette (…)

One was John Lewis, the African American civil rights leader and legislator who died five years ago.
