On tariff deals, Trump says he has spoken to leaders of several countries who ‘want to make the US extremely happy’​


President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (local time) said the United States has concluded a deal with Pakistan to help develop the latter’s “massive” oil reserves and added that his administration is yet to choose which company will lead this partnership.

Trump also remarked that maybe, Pakistan will be selling oil to India some day.

The US President made the announcement through a post on his social media platform Truth Social. This announcement about the US’ deal with Pakistan comes right after he announced 25% tariffs on India on Wednesday, along with an unspecified penalty for buying oil from Russia.

“We have just concluded a Deal with the Country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive Oil Reserves. We are in the process of choosing the Oil Company that will lead this Partnership. Who knows, maybe they’ll be selling Oil to India some day!” he wrote.

‘Busy day at White House’​

In the same post, Trump also wrote that he has spoken to leaders of several countries who want to make the US “extremely happy”. He said that several countries are making offers to the US for tariff reductions which, according to him, will reduce the country’s “trade deficit” massively.

“We are very busy in the White House today working on Trade Deals. I have spoken to the Leaders of many Countries, all of whom want to make the United States ‘extremely happy’. I will be meeting with the South Korean Trade Delegation this afternoon. South Korea is right now at a 25% Tariff, but they have an offer to buy down those Tariffs. I will be interested in hearing what that offer is,” Trump wrote.

“Likewise, other Countries are making offers for a Tariff reduction. All of this will help reduce our Trade Deficit in a very major way. A full report will be released at the appropriate time. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he added.

When did Pakistan discover massive oil reserves ? :unsure:
May be start some refineries. Pakistan selling oil to India must be a joke.

Trump trying to arm twist India. Trump does not like India being part of Brics. He is against China and he absolutely hates any currency challenging global US dollar.
 
It’s official. Pakistan is now the Regional Dada of Asia. Keeping threats like India who are a danger to rest of Asia in check using the Big Stick aka the Big Danda policy.

Trump wants to counter China as it is their biggest threat. Buy Pak-China friendship is deeper than an ocean and stronger than steel. Trump very well knows that Pakistan is freirnds with China with CPEC and other weapons it buys from China. If Trump really wants Pakistan to be the Dada of South Asia, he will demand Pak to move away from China. Lot of intricacies there.

Trump is simply using Pakistan to troll India and blackmail them into submission. He is very cunning and firmly believes he can bully India easily. I have a feeling India will stop or slow down buying oil from Russia. India cannot stand up to US for too long, I feel a deal will be made soon.

So sad to see this friendship between Dolaaand Trump and Modiji break down.
Modi was Trump's number 1 campaigner during the election.

He's had a shocking few years. Rolled back on most relationships and massively dented India's global image.
 
Regional "Dada" with big holes in its airbases and hangars and NOTAMS going on for months. Waah ji wah!!:cigar

Here is just one big hole in one of your brand new Hangar at Bholari for your viewing pleasure ( Zoom in to see the gory details ):

Weren’t there Indians creating statues of Trump in 2016 and doing pooja for him etc in India? Have those been take down yet? :inti:kp
They have taken them down but kept them in storage just in case Trump bowls a doosr and turns the other way :murali

Statue of Modi should be beaten with a dirty shoe though. He became a campaigner from Trump and got repaid like this. It's ruined Indians image worldwide.
 
If Pakistanis had “massive oil”, China would’ve been drilling it out already.

China didn’t invest billions of dollars in Pakistan to see the US take away the goodies—if there are goodies.

This news and statement has been making the rounds. I hope there is some truth to it and Pakistani elites and establishment dont (as usual) use these resources for their own dihari
 
Not entirely true. This depends on the warhead that was used and the precision of the strike. Otherwise the NOTAM on the Rahim Yar Khan base would not last for so long. The same is true for many other bases. The very fact that India attacked Nuclear facilities and almost all crown jewels of Pak military by going deep inside Pakistan is very telling and CLEARLY tells us who is the real "Dada"

Also that Bholari Hangar was brand new built in 2017/18. The fact that it was destroyed beyond repair and most importantly it resulted in important personnel causalities is hard to quantify. For starters it implies that Pakistani Air defense system was completely neutralized. It will take years to rebuild that hangar, find replacements for the Personnel even if we assume that it had no jets inside it at that time ( which most likely was NOT the case )

Then there is Nur Khan, Jacobabad, Sukkur, Kirana Hills, Sargodha etc etc etc. The funny thing is India actually did not Publicly claim some of the airbases possibly to give an offramp for their generals so that they can indulge in saving face.



In theory yes ... but so far there is no credible evidence in the form of Satellite images from reputed sources that tell us the extent of damages to Indian Military bases.

Nuclear facilities? India caused damage to Pakistan's nuclear facilities?

So why does India keep saying only terrorist camps were targeted and that's why they ceased hostilities because they thought their goal was accomplished?

Now there are claims of attacking nuclear facilities and blah blah .. Then your chay PM goes on TV crying "hum per hi hamla ker dia?"

You guys need to internally get your fake or non fake narrative straight first.

That was BEFORE Pakistan chose to escalate by targeting military and civilian targets in India which were all intercepted by our Air Defense systems. I cant believe you pretend to not know this.

What does that even mean ?

The official Indian version has now been documented as part of Indian Parliamentary proceedings and at a very high level the sequence of events are :

0. Incendiary bigoted speech by your COAS on April 16
1. Pehalgam religious attack on April 22. ( now proven to be initiated by Pakistani )
2. India openly tells that it will take punitive measures on Terror bases within Pakistan soil
3. Indian jets destroy 9 terror sites on May 7th. No military target was attacked and India told Pakistan that this would be it unless Pakistan chose to escalate.
4. Pakistan falls in the trap by esclating ( Implying that they were on the side of the terror networks )
5. India successfully intercepts all Drone/Missile attacks from Pakistan for the most part over the next 2 days.
6. Starting on the Night of May 9th the IAF takes out major Pak air defense systems across Pakistan and then launches a highly disproportionate military response by attacking numerous military targets along the length and breadth of Pakistan including Nuclear storage facilities and their Command and Control centers.
7. Pakistan reaches out to Saudis and USA to negotiate for ceasefire.
8. India tells them to ask the Pakistani DGMO to initiate the call.
9. India does not respond initially and continues its military strikes.
10. Pakistani DGMO tries calling again later after Kirana Hills nuke storage site and Jacobabad air bases were targetted in broad daylight. This time their call is answered and India agrees to ceasefire.


But nice try pretending that you do not know the official position of India.
 
In theory yes ... but so far there is no credible evidence in the form of Satellite images from reputed sources that tell us the extent of damages to Indian Military bases.
There is currently no AD system that can stop a hypersonic missile as observed from the Iran/Israel war. The Iranian hypersonics were all getting through though they did not have many. Pakistan currently does not have any hypersonics but is in the process of getting them from China.

Why didn’t India release pictures of their attack on the terrorist camps unlike the pictures they released of the airbases hit?
 
Let’s be honest - Trump has lost all respect for India after the way Pakistan humiliated them.

The USA and Trump in particular have no respect for countries with weak forces. Trump has realized that India cannot compete with Pakistan on the military front and its self-proclaimed economic might and economic growth projections are a hoax too.

Trump has newfound respect and admiration of Pakistan.
 
But andhbhakts still can't see that, they are still busy in his blind bhakti.
Which other relationship

Pak is Pak
China is China
Turkey is turkey .

No change

BD you can say..but that's a coup not India's fault

Only surprise is Trump and that's a big loss but it's temporary...just negotiation tactics..

They have ..and sky news travelled and interviewed people and your govt published your decorated army officers standing behind their terror leaderhsip...paying homage to the departed terrorists

When you try to troll ..try to be subtle..when it's this dense and out of any realms of reality .people won't get agitated...Pak and professionalism or success in anything. Military related don't go together ..now if it's terrorism .then you are numero uno..no comparison except perhaps your western neighbors

Only trolling done was by Indian media when they claimed that they had destroyed the major cities of Pakistan when there wasn’t even a peep here.

The whole world knows that India got their backsides handed to them at the hands of PAF and Pakistan military.

You lost your premium Rafale jets and Pakistan lost nothing.

If you had done what your laughable media claimed that you did, Azad Kashmir would now be under Indian control.

No media lies as much as Indian media does, but unfortunately for you, you cannot sell your lies to Dolaand Trump, who knows the truth, and since that day, his attitude towards India has shifted drastically.

Provide the link to the satellite/aerial images of Indian strikes of the terrorist camps then.

Here are few



There are so many more that it would be hard to share everything here.

I am bit confused by your request though. Since dgispr himself said 9 sites were stuck..and your media bbc urdu sky news went and showed the extensive damage...there is literally no dispute. I don't know how a satellite image is going to change that. Unless you are simply saying India didn't show satellite images of the damage bad not disputing the damage itself. In that case Hindu and a a non Indian source are quoted above. There are many more if you simply Google it.

As for video proof. Here are a few



The second video has drone captured footage etc.

As you can see whatever India claims they are either corroborated by independent WELL KNOWN sources or irrefutable proof in form of satellite images on the ground footage Pak social media and missile or drone images.

Now purely on this basis. And the same standards- well known independent media sharing videos or satellite image..not YouTube channel and social media videos

Please share the following

Image of plane crash wreckage...not some radar blips (XGuard) or some audio recording or simply of missiles being fired and explosion in night sky of 125 planes dog fight over 1 hour in popualted areas...there has to be some images like we saw on the latter days of drones and missiles in the sky


S400 destroyed...China has even better satellites than India.

Brahmos depot destroyed...

At least one airbase heavily damaged out of the claimed 26 attacked...we know they were attacked but we claim and NYT verified there is no damage.

So all these claims are easily verifiable by satellite images or videos recording...static images are hard to trust due to gen AI tools on both sides.


The only semblance of proof of pak claims are on the jets shot down but till date there is no wreckage
.no social media footage...it's extremely hard to hide plane wreckage...and pls don't say all Indians are BJP stooges...such videos will come out to embarrass modi if they exist

By that same token how is your jugular vein doing..70 years of yapping and India still controls Kashmir....and all you did was lose half of your country and Siachen.

Us lost 76 jets in desert storm...what a shameful defeat for them and victory for Saddam...such logic ..salute you man.

We don't make Kashmir the issue of our life .did our pm say we are gonna take back kashmir...we said we will send the pigs to hell for commiting terrorism..we did that..all we said is we will only diiscuss illegally pak occupied Kashmir ..and terrorism ..nothing else ..taking Kashmiris against their will is your govts fantasy..not ours..what will we do by taking. A bunch of anti Indian people under our borders..it will be hell

sure but what does that mean in terms of War outcome ? I will even say this ... lets assume that India lost 6 jets on Day 1 of the war. What does that imply ?

That your airforces playbooks and strategies are not on par. The PAF was trained by the US. Pakistan’s platforms are well integrated with support planes like AWACs and with future investment in J-35s and JF-17 Block IIIs, it’s going to get better and become an even more of a threat. Israel has shown that there is no substitute to air superiority.

Then why did PAK get hit in atleast 11 prime PAF military facilities ?

Planes are not going to shoot down surface to surface missiles which hit the Pakistani bases. We are talking about air superiority here where one country controls the skies and can hit any target from the air.

While Iran was managing to get their hypersonics through, Israel had full control of the skies and could bomb anything they wanted. I’m not saying Pakistan has that level of air superiority but trying to explain that while the PAF doctrine/skills/platforms are better (in my opinion), India can still hit bases using ballistics which Pakistani planes can’t do much about. However, a country that enjoys air superiority like Israel against Iran, they can destroy the missile sites which is why over time Iran’s attacks became less and less intense. Hence why I have said that there is no substitute for air superiority.

And that can ONLY happen when a SEAD or DEAD has been accomplished.

India never used any ground launched missiles if thats what you are claiming. All attacks on PAF military targets were done from IAF jets.

They used both air and land based.
 
They used both air and land based.

Not for striking air bases. the only surface launched hit was done by the S400 that took out the Pak AWACS aircraft which established a new record of sorts for the longest kill. Otherwise the predominant damage was done by IAF jets and this is because of the accuracy factory. Also the S400 is not cheap.
 
All the sanghis tend to be pro-Trump.

I wonder if they still like Trump considering Trump has been taking cheap shots at India lately. :inti

Funny situation.

Hmmm

You are giving conflicting information to what I’m reading from Indian sources. The article below says that both and air based missiles were used to strike bases.


Also first time I’m hearing Pakistani AWACS was shot down by an S400 battery. Has this been corroborated by independent journalists?

Unlikely that ground launched missiles were used to target very high value targets purely because of the accuracy factor ( but that is just my gut feeling ... there is no official confirmation from IAF as this is sensitive info) . But safe to say that majority of ground targets were due to Air launched missiles.


Also first time I’m hearing Pakistani AWACS was shot down by an S400 battery. Has this been corroborated by independent journalists?

just based on chatter on various defense channels ... obviously nothing will ever be officially acknowledged for a long time.
 
YOU GUYS HAVE AN OBESSION OF "SINDOOR'' THAT IS WHY YOU GUYS KEEP REPEATING IN EVERY THREAD.

LOOK AT THE TOPIC OF THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST AGAIN... NO MORE SUCH STUFF WILL BE ALLOWED NOW.
 
Also current regime ka tukka lag gya that Modi tried to launch a war but failed spectacularly. This had the effect of uniting the country behind the establishment, totally denting India's image in front of the world, and finally giving Trump something new to consider in the region. He loves a uniform and strongman type politicians.

India's misadventures failed miserably, and that has helped the regime more than their lobbying ( which has been good too tbf)

I didn't say you made claims..i said Pakistan made claims. This image has been shared many times mostly by non mainstream media. Is there a full picture of the wreckage..surely not just the tail? The crashes wreckage with smoke coming out. The inset has a a Rafale inscribed while we can't see that in the other pic. And the BS001 is in inclined font versus the more upright version.
