Trump Announces Major Pakistan Trade Deal, Vows Joint Oil Development/Exploration

"Who knows, maybe they (Pakistan) will be selling Oil to India some day!", says Trump

​

In yet another major diplomatic win for Pakistan, US President Donald Trump has confirmed the finalisation of a trade agreement between the two countries, a move that signals growing trust and deepening economic ties between Islamabad and Washington.

The announcement comes as India, still scrambling to finalise a trade deal with Washington, finds itself under growing pressure, staring down hefty 25% tariffs and the risk of penalties over its continued energy ties with Russia.

"We have just concluded a Deal with the Country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive Oil Reserves. We are in the process of choosing the Oil Company that will lead this Partnership. Who knows, maybe they’ll be selling Oil to India some day!," the US president wrote in a Truth Social post.


resident Donald Trump said on Wednesday the United States is still negotiating with India on trade after announcing earlier in the day the U.S. will impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from the country starting on Friday.

The 25% tariff, as well as an unspecified penalty announced by Trump in a morning social media post, would strain relations with the world's most populous democracy.

Later at the White House, the Republican president indicated there was wiggle room.

"They have one of the highest tariffs in the world now, they're willing to cut it very substantially," Trump told reporters. "We're talking to India now - we'll see what happens ... You'll know by the end of this week."

The 25% figure would single out India more severely than other major trading partners, and threaten to unravel months of talks between the two countries, undermining a strategic partner of Washington’s and a counterbalance to China.

What the penalty would be was not clear. Trump initially indicated it was for India buying Russian arms and oil, and its non-monetary trade barriers.
This is a developing story and is being updated with more details.

Good news for baniya. American companies will be allowed to sell Pakistani oil to India. This way India will get around dependence on Russian oil and also please America.

This is a welcome step for Pakistan’s economy. More trade means more opportunities, jobs, and growth.

Let’s take a minute not to jump into the usual conspiracy theories like “US is here for our nukes” and no, Pakistan isn’t becoming anyone’s slave.

This is about economics, not surrender. It’s called engaging with the world to serve our own interests and that’s exactly what smart nations do.

Let’s celebrate this moment, even if briefly. Happiness and good news don’t come often, let’s not ruin it with unnecessary paranoia.

Here’s hoping this deal opens more doors and paves the way for a stronger, self-reliant Pakistan.

And special thanks to modi ji’s operation Tandoor, wouldn’t be possible without it

This is a death sentence for BLA (if activity is to take place in Balochistan), so expect the leftist woke terrorist brigade to start crying about it.

We recently discovered 4th largest oil reserves in the world. Before that during IK tenure there was also some news of oil discovered near Gwadar. However we don't have the ability to extract it ourselves.

**** off with your imran khan glazing and bullshit.

Anyways kudos to the establishment for the May 7th victory especially the air force and asim munir for spearheading an extremely successful campaign of diplomacy and geo economics. We balanced both the US and china relationship. Atleast we are heading in a direction.

What we need now is political stability and inflows of FDI and curb of terrorism. Secondly keep that shaitain[imran khan] locked up.

I wouldn't be surprised we will see new unrest and protest from PTI as now pakistan will be gaining some economic traction. Middle finger to ethnonatlist assholes on this forum who keep crying complaining with weird victim complex.

This can help eradicate terrorism in Balochistan

Just don't ask how

We didn't discover anything, we MIGHT have oil offshore but until they are discovered don't make Hopium filled claims.

Wonder what China would think of it. Why didn't China did agreement with us for this??
