The Indian Embassy established an emergency contact line for citizens after President Trump announced the H-1B visa application fee.

Bangladesh's leather sector remains trapped below the one billion dollar export threshold despite operating for more than ten years at this level. The industry lacks Leather Working Group certification, which prevents access to premium international markets and forces producers to sell raw materials at reduced prices.
