Pak Expects Breakthrough in US Tariff Talks

In Washington, D.C., on April 25, 2025, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb is actively pursuing a trade deal with the United States, aiming to finalize before the August deadline, Bloomberg reported.
Facing economic pressures, Pakistan's trade deficit with the U.S. led to negotiations, as ties improved after a prolonged diplomatic chill, including a $3 billion deficit and efforts to secure tariff relief.
In detailed negotiations, U.S. shared a detailed list of trade demands with Pakistan, with Reuters reporting the disclosure.
The finance ministry said Aurangzeb met U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, describing it as a ‘productive meeting’ with Lutnick and Greer.
While understanding was reached, a formal announcement is expected only after the U.S. concludes similar negotiations with other partners, indicating progress with caveats.
