Following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, the United States hopes that the formation of the interim government in Bangladesh should reflect democratic values, the rule of law and the will of the people of Bangladesh.

In exchange for their sacrifice, Bangladesh is free from dictatorship today. The situation in Bangladesh is still unclear. Student leaders, opposition parties and the army are trying to form an interim government. Can you clarify the position of the United States on this issue?
In response, Miller said, I have talked about this issue several times. First, we certainly offer our condolences and condolences to those who have been killed and injured in the violence of the past few weeks. Our focus is now on ending the violence and holding those responsible accountable. To form an interim government that reflects democratic principles, rule of law and the will of the people of Bangladesh.
In another question this reporter wants to know, you talked about accountability. Sheikh Hasina fled to India. He is trying to seek asylum in any western country. Would you allow a person involved in extreme crimes against humanity to come to the United States?
In response, Miller said, “No such request has come to us.
