Pakistan has lavished money on Trump to gain an advantage over India, exposing Pakistan's tactics.

News Topical, Digital Desk : The Pakistani high command will go to any lengths to gain an advantage over India, regardless of the world's perception of it or the cost to the Pakistani people.

Trump reduces tariffs on Pakistan

During Trump's second term in office, Pakistan poured money into the US to win him over. They even rolled out the red carpet for Trump's family. They struck expensive deals with the US, in return for which Trump reduced tariffs on Pakistan.

Trump had earlier imposed a 29 percent tariff on Pakistan, but trapped in Pakistan's maneuvering, Trump reduced the tariff to 19 percent, while accusing India of buying oil from Russia, he increased the tariff to 50 percent.

According to a contract filed with the Department of Justice, in April and May this year, Pakistan spent three times more money than India on lobbying to woo Trump.

Pakistan credits Trump for ceasefire in Operation Sindoor

Pakistan increasingly engaged lobbyists, including Trump's former business partners and bodyguards. This benefited Pakistan in the form of improved relations, while India's relations with the United States deteriorated. Ceasefire and Nobel Pakistan's maneuvering was also evident during Operation Sindoor.

Pakistan credited Trump for the ceasefire in Operation Sindoor and even nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Prime Minister Narendra Modi rejected both claims, arguing that the US had nothing to do with the ceasefire.

Rare Earth Minerals Agreement

Pakistan also capitalized on America's displeasure with China over rare earth minerals. Seizing the opportunity, Pakistan struck a $500 million rare earth mineral deal with the US, sending sample shipments to the US. It also opened its doors to American agricultural products.

Before Pakistan, the US was pressuring India to open up its agricultural sector. Meanwhile, China had banned the purchase of soybeans from the US. The US also appreciated this Pakistani stance.

Trump himself called Pakistan a "treacherous country." Michael Kugerman, former director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center, says Pakistan benefited from aggressive lobbying efforts, signing $5 million in deals with six Washington-based firms.

Asim Munir had a private lunch with Trump at the White House.

As a result of lobbying, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir had a private lunch with President Trump at the White House. Trump even described Munir as his favorite field marshal. This was the same Trump who, during his first term, had even called Pakistan a country full of lies and deceit.
