Trump says Pakistani officials visiting US to negotiate trade deal ahead of potential 29% tariff

According to President Donald Trump, Pakistani officials will travel to the U.S. the following week with the aim of negotiating a reduction in the tariffs levied against Pakistan.

Pakistan is at risk of being subject to a 29% tariff on goods exported to the U.S. due to a trade surplus of $3 billion with America, stemming from the recent tariffs imposed by Trump on various nations.

Trump noted that he would have no interest in making a deal with Pakistan or its neighbor, India, if they were to reignite a war with each other.

Earlier this month, the two countries engaged in a four-day conflict involving fighter jets, missiles, drones, and artillery, marking their most intense fighting in decades.

“As you know, we’re very close to making a deal with India,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews on Friday after departing Air Force One.

Indian Trade Minister Piyush Goyal visited Washington recently to advance trade talks, with both sides seeking to sign an interim agreement by early July.

Trump has imposed a 26% tariff on India’s shipments to the U.S.

India is likely to allow U.S. firms to bid for contracts worth over $50 billion, mainly from federal entities, as it negotiates a trade deal with the Trump administration.
