Game-changing Pakistan-US trade deal cuts tariffs and opens doors to tech, energy investment

ISLAMABAD / WASHINGTON – Pakistan and the United States have finalized a game-changing trade agreement aimed at expanding trade, slashing tariffs, and unlocking investment in key economic sectors.

The deal was reached during a high-level meeting in Washington between Pakistan’s Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb and senior US officials, including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and USTR Ambassador Jamieson Greer.

President Donald Trump later confirmed the deal on Truth Social, hailing it as a key step in tapping into Pakistan’s potential — particularly in energy, minerals, IT, and cryptocurrency sectors.

The agreement will enhance market access for Pakistani goods, promote infrastructure investment, and broaden economic partnerships at both federal and state levels in the US. Pakistani officials say the move aligns with their strategy to position Pakistan as a regional tech and trade hub.

The development is expected to bring a surge of foreign investment and boost digital and industrial cooperation between the two countries.
