Understanding the latest US-Pak rapprochement
Hindustan Times Haryana
|October 06, 2025
One of the most surprising developments from Donald Trump's second term is the astonishing turn in US-Pakistan relations.
Having largely sidelined Pakistan over the past decade or more, the current US administration has courted Pakistan with an enthusiasm that has caught many analysts offguard.
In June, Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, in the White House. A few weeks later, the White House struck a trade deal with Pakistan that kept the tariff rate at 19%, lower even than the 25% rate slapped on India.
Finally, officials from both sides have been discussing joint ventures in cryptocurrency and critical minerals.
