After a disappointing announcement by the United States of America over the India-US trade deal, the US President Donald Trump went on to hurt India’s sentiments even more. Donald Trump on Thursday has announced sealing a trade deal with Pakistan and said that Washington will work with Islamabad to develop what he described as the South Asian nation`s "massive oil reserves".

After announcing a 25 per cent 'reciprocal tariff' on his "friend" India, plus a penalty for buying Russian weapons and oil, Donald Trump said Thursday the US had struck a deal with Pakistan to develop its "massive" oil reserves.

The comments by top Trump administration officials came a day after Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming from India starting August 1, plus an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment.
