Shehbaz Calls Talks With Trump 'Encouraging' as Pakistan Courts U.S. Investment

The claims reflect Pakistan’s messaging rather than confirmed U.S. commitments.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said the meeting covered trade, technology, AI, cryptocurrency and minerals, with the U.S. showing readiness to invest, particularly in IT.
  • He said President Trump addressed tariff concerns and that future mineral valuations and trade deals would be set on mutual interests.
  • Shehbaz told reporters that Trump directed American companies to look at Pakistan’s IT, energy, agriculture and mineral sectors for investment.
  • He asserted Pakistan “won” the May confrontation with India under Field Marshal Asim Munir’s leadership, claiming seven Indian aircraft were shot down.
  • He credited Trump with helping secure the May ceasefire and said Pakistan has nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, while touting falling inflation, lower interest rates and $38.5 billion in remittances.
