U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio held discussions with Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday, focusing on a range of key issues including tariffs, trade relations, immigration, and potential cooperation on critical minerals.
Statements from both the U.S. State Department and Pakistan's foreign ministry outlined the key topics of the conversation.
The call comes amid heightened tensions over President Donald Trump's announcement of a 10% baseline tariff on all U.S. imports, as well as higher duties on certain countries, including Pakistan, which is facing a 29% tariff. The U.S. has been exploring ways to balance trade relations and address reciprocal tariffs, with both sides indicating interest in establishing a more equitable trade partnership.
The U.S. also highlighted the prospects of engaging Pakistan on critical minerals, with Rubio expressing interest in expanding commercial opportunities for U.S. companies in this area. Pakistan’s foreign ministry echoed this sentiment, noting their shared desire to collaborate on trade and investment, particularly in the critical minerals sector, which has become a focal point in global economic and strategic discussions.
In addition to economic concerns, the two leaders also discussed law enforcement cooperation, with Rubio emphasizing the importance of Pakistan's collaboration on addressing illegal immigration. The conversation touched on recent developments, such as Pakistan's cooperation with the U.S. in countering extremism, following the arrest of Mohammad Sharifullah, a suspect in a 2021 attack on U.S. troops in Kabul.
The situation in Afghanistan also featured prominently in the talks, as both sides explored ongoing issues in the region and potential avenues for further cooperation. The discussions reflect growing efforts to engage Pakistan on multiple fronts, balancing trade, security, and regional concerns.
