Trump says Pakistani representatives coming to US next week for trade talks - Reuters
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Pakistani representatives will visit the United States next week to accelerate trade agreement talks. The visit is part of ongoing efforts to address the trade surplus issue between the two nations [1].Pakistan faces a potential 29% tariff on its exports to the US due to a $3 billion trade surplus. This tariff, part of a global announcement by Trump on April 2, has raised concerns among Pakistani exporters [1]. The visit by Pakistani representatives aims to negotiate reciprocal tariffs and mitigate the impact of the tariffs on Pakistan's export sector.
The trade talks come amidst heightened diplomatic tensions following a recent military confrontation between India and Pakistan. The confrontation, which involved a series of air strikes and drone incursions, was resolved with American intervention on May 10 [1].
Trump has indicated that he would have no interest in making a deal with Pakistan or India if they were to engage in war with each other. This statement underscores the delicate balance of trade negotiations and geopolitical considerations [1].
The visit by Pakistani representatives is also notable for the backdrop of recent developments in Pakistan's economic and political landscape. Pakistan has been actively seeking to diversify its trade partners and has recently announced the formation of a Bitcoin reserve and allocated 2,000 MW of electricity to power Bitcoin mining and AI data centers [2].
The trade talks between the US and Pakistan are expected to be a critical factor in shaping the economic landscape of both nations. The success of these talks could pave the way for increased trade volumes and potentially reduce the impact of the imposed tariffs on Pakistan's export sector.
