cThe announcement came just a day after Trump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Indian goods and warned of additional penalties over India's continued oil and arms trade with Russia.
Posting on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote, "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 someday!"
The statement comes just after Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on Indian exports and hinted at further economic pressure in response to New Delhi's continued engagement with Russia for crude oil and defence supplies.
In his post, Trump also said he is engaged in negotiations with multiple countries seeking reductions in tariffs.
"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', " he said.
