WASHINGTON, July 31, 2025 Plot twist of the week: The U.S. just inked an oil deal with Pakistan. Trump, never one to miss a dramatic entrance, blasted the news all over Truth Social—surprise! Now it’s being called a 'strategic energy partnership.'
What’s the Buzz?
- The U.S. and Pakistan are teaming up to dig for that sweet, sweet crude out at sea. Tariffs? The details are as clear as mud right now. So, the U.S. and Pakistan are basically joining forces to go oil-hunting offshore. As for tariffs—yeah, good luck figuring those out. Nobody seems to have a clue what’s actually going on there.
-Pakistan is pushing for fair trade terms—specifically a tariff rate between 15% and 20%—in line with other U.S. trade partners.
-Meanwhile, India’s getting hit with a 25% tariff hammer, plus sanctions. All because they’re aligning with Russia and Iran. Tough break, guys.
-Six Indian companies just got blacklisted by the State Department. That’s gotta sting.
So, Why’s Everyone Freaking Out?
- Pakistan’s energy dreams might finally come true—no more rolling blackouts (maybe).
- India’s feeling the heat, and not just from the weather.
- The U.S. is out here playing chess, trying to outmaneuver everyone in South Asia.
And honestly? This whole thing is just getting started. Grab your popcorn. The saga continues.
