ISLAMABAD: (Jul 19) Pakistan and the US have expressed optimism that the ongoing trade talks would yield positive outcomes, as Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb held meetings with American officials in Washington to enhance trade ties.
Pakistan faces a 29 per cent tariff on exports to the US under President Donald Trump’s measures against nations with large trade surpluses with his country.
The threat prompted a flurry of activities, including Aurangzeb’s meetings with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Friday. PTI
