Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said she spoke to US President Donald Trump on Monday about Rohingya Muslims flooding into her country from Myanmar, but she expects no help from him as he has made clear how he feels about refugees. As Trump left an event he hosted at the United Nations on reforming the world body, Hasina said she stopped him for a few minutes. I said ‘it’s doing very well, but the only problem that we have is the refugees from Myanmar’,” Hasina told Reuters in an interview. Hasina said she wanted to see more international political pressure on Myanmar to allow the Rohingya to return. “(Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi) should agree that these people belong to her country and that Myanmar is their country.
