The former prime minister of Bangladesh, Hasina Wazed, believes that the United States was involved in her resignation because she refused to hand over the island of St. Martin to them for the construction of a military base.
"I could have stayed in power if I had given up sovereignty over the island of St. Martin and allowed the Americans to control the Bay of Bengal," Wazed said.
Earlier it was announced that the USA offered Bangladesh to lease an island located in the Bay of Bengal, in order to create an air and naval base there.
