Former US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States will help Pakistan develop its oil reserves following a trade deal. In a surprising statement, Trump said, "Who knows? Maybe they'll be selling oil to India someday." This development comes after Pakistan's Finance Minister, Mohammad Aurangzeb, reportedly sealed a deal with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington on July 18th. The announcement is being seen as a significant shift in US policy towards Pakistan, especially given Trump's previous criticisms of the country. While the former president is hard-selling the trade agreement, the geopolitical and economic practicalities of Pakistan supplying oil to India remain a subject of analysis, considering the historical tensions and the vast difference in trade volumes between India-US and Pakistan-US.
