US to Cooperate with Pakistan in Areas of Critical Minerals, Hydrocarbons, Says State Secy Rubio - The Statesman

The US and Pakistan agreed to deepen counterterrorism efforts and economic ties focusing on critical minerals and energy, with tariff issues resolved and new business partnerships planned.

  • On August 14, the United States extended heartfelt Independence Day greetings to the people of Pakistan, emphasizing the continuation of collaborative efforts between the two nations.
  • This statement followed US President Donald Trump's July announcement of a trade deal with Pakistan focused on jointly developing Pakistan's large oil reserves and ongoing partner selection.
  • The US government also expressed its intent to strengthen collaboration in critical minerals, hydrocarbons, and emerging economic sectors to foster business partnerships benefiting both nations.
  • Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on Indian imports in response to India’s ongoing oil purchases from Russia, while the US introduced comparatively lower tariff rates on goods from Pakistan within the South Asian region, prompting a strong condemnation from India’s Ministry of External Affairs.
  • These developments suggest a US strategic focus on deepening economic and security ties with Pakistan amid regional tariff adjustments and a backdrop of Pakistan’s active engagement on counterterrorism and trade.
