Pakistan and the United States finalized a trade agreement today aimed at boosting bilateral trade, expanding market access, attracting investment, and fostering cooperation in areas of mutual interest.
The breakthrough was reached during a meeting of Pakistan’s Finance Minister, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, with US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and United States Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer in Washington D.C. today.
Secretary Commerce Jawad Paul and Pakistani Ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, were also present during the meeting. President Trump announced the trade deal via a post on Truth Social.
The agreement will result in a reduction of reciprocal tariffs, especially on Pakistani exports to the United States.
This deal marks the beginning of a new era of economic collaboration, especially in energy, mining and minerals, IT, cryptocurrency, and other sectors.
The deal complements Pakistan’s existing efforts to broaden the scope of Pak-US economic ties and to include partnerships at the US state level.
The agreement enhances Pakistan’s access to the US market and vice versa. Additionally, the deal is expected to spur increased US investment in Pakistan’s infrastructure and development projects.
This trade agreement underscores the commitment of both nations to deepen their bilateral relationship and explore all avenues for strengthening trade and investment
