🇵🇰🤝🇺🇸 Pakistan & US Strike Historic Trade Deal! Tariffs Cut, Oil Reserves Pact Signed – Trump Celebrates "Big Win"!

 

Pakistan and US Seal Game-Changing Trade Deal – Tariffs Reduced, Oil Reserves Partnership Announced!

🔥 The Breaking News That’s Shaking Pakistan & the US!

In a historic move, Pakistan and the United States have finalized a major trade agreement expected to slash tariffs and unlock billions in economic opportunities—while Donald Trump himself announced a separate oil reserves development deal!

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, leading negotiations in Washington, called it a "win-win" for both nations. Meanwhile, Trump took to Truth Social, declaring:

"We just struck a deal with Pakistan to develop their massive oil reserves. Big things coming—maybe they’ll sell oil to India someday!"

But what’s really in this deal? How will it impact Pakistan’s economy? And why are some politicians demanding transparency? Let’s break it down.

💼 The Landmark Trade Deal: What’s Inside?

After months of negotiations, Pakistan and the US have agreed on:

✔ Reduced Tariffs – Easier access for Pakistani exports to the US market.
✔ Oil & Gas Collaboration – US firms to help develop Pakistan’s untapped reserves.
✔ Tech & Minerals Boost – New partnerships in IT, crypto, and mining sectors.

📢 Key Statements:

• Pakistani Embassy (X Post): "This marks a new era of economic collaboration!"

• PM Shehbaz Sharif: "Historic deal! Strengthens Pak-US partnership."

• Finance Minister Aurangzeb: "Trade and investment must go hand in hand."

🛢️ The Oil Reserves Deal – Trump’s Big Announcement

While the tariff details remain undisclosed, Trump’s sudden Truth Social post revealed another bombshell:

"Pakistan and the US will work together on developing their massive oil reserves. We’re picking the oil company to lead this!"

This could mean billions in investment for Pakistan’s energy sector—but critics demand answers:

❓ Who gets the oil contracts?
❓ Will provinces get their share? (Under Article 172, minerals are 50% owned by provinces.)
❓ Why was Parliament not consulted?

Ex-Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani slammed the secrecy, calling it a "sad day for transparency."

📈 What This Means for Pakistan’s Economy

✅ More US Investment – Infrastructure, energy, and tech sectors set to benefit.
✅ Stronger Exports – Textiles, agriculture, and IT may gain from lower tariffs.
✅ Energy Security – Oil reserves development could reduce fuel imports.

But challenges remain:
⚠ Trade Deficit – US-Pak trade was $7.3B in 2024, with Pakistan facing a $3B deficit.
⚠ Political Backlash – Opposition demands Parliamentary debate on the deals.

🔮 What’s Next?

• US Companies Entering Pakistan? (Oil giants like Exxon may join.)

• Will India Buy Pakistani Oil? (As Trump hinted!)

• More Deals Coming? (Aurangzeb hinted at broader economic partnerships.)

A Turning Point for Pakistan?

This deal could reshape Pakistan’s economic future—but transparency is key. Will it bring real growth, or just more debt and dependency?
