Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus in a statement expressed his gratitude to President Donald Trump for exempting life-saving food and nutrition support for the displaced Rohingya sheltered in Bangladesh from the US aid freeze.
"Officials of the US Embassy in Dhaka visited High Representative Dr Khalilur Rahman this afternoon and informed him about this exemption," said the CA's press wing in a statement.
CA's Deputy Press Secretary Apurba Jahangir also confirmed the development at a media briefing at the Foreign Service Academy this evening,.
Apurba referred to USAID's nutrition assistance provided to Rohingya refugees and said this assistance will remain unaffected.
Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Shafiqul Alam and Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder were present at the briefing.
US President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order suspending US aid to all countries for 90 days to review it and the decision was not country-specific.
"It's not country specific," Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain told reporters at the foreign ministry when his attention was drawn regarding the executive order.
