Impact of Tariff Threat on Bangladesh's Garment Industry: Suppliers to Walmart have delayed or put orders on hold from Bangladeshi garment manufacturers due to the potential implementation of a 35% tariff by the U.S., which could significantly affect Bangladesh's economy as it relies heavily on its garment sector for exports and GDP.
Manufacturers' Concerns and Future Strategies: Factory owners express concerns that if the tariff is enacted, they will struggle to sustain their businesses and may seek orders from European clients to offset losses, even if it means reducing prices.
