Various influential countries around the world, including the United States, are reportedly diplomatically monitoring the potential outcomes surrounding Prime Minister Tareq Rahman’s much-discussed visit to China. In this context, US Ambassador Brent T. Christensen paid a courtesy call on Foreign Minister Dr. Khalilur Rahman at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The meeting took place at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday (June 20).
When journalists inquired about the discussions after the meeting, the US Ambassador avoided direct political comments. Instead, he responded in a diplomatic manner, bringing up the topic of the FIFA World Cup.
He stated that the US team had secured a spot in the knockout stage after a crucial victory against Australia in the World Cup last night. Drawing on this, he humorously mentioned that he had requested the Foreign Minister and the people of Bangladesh to support the United States in their upcoming matches.
Praising Bangladeshis’ love for football, the Ambassador further added, “In the long term, betting on the United States will never lead to regret.”
