The return of Trump is obviously not a surprise to many and has specific geopolitical implications. Bangladesh is going through lots of challenges and opportunities right at this moment, and change in the US administration will definitely have effective influence in Bangladesh too. Here is a summary on crosscutting issues, affecting US-BD relations from the Bangladesh perspective.
An estimated 200,000 Bangladeshi origin people live in the US. Besides this legal number, there are unconfirmed Bangladeshis residing in the US; they might have been moved through human trafficking or may have misused tourist or business visas. The Democratic party is favorable to illegal migrants, but Republicans are not. So, Bangladeshis who are not properly documented in the US, their "American Dream" could be at risk.
The USA is consistently funding Bangladesh for good reasons. Recently, the Biden administration has authorized USAID to donate two billion USD to improve living standards in Bangladesh within 2021-2026 under the Development Objective Grant Agreement.
