Pakistan will dispatch a high-level delegation to Washington to negotiate new U.S. tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump’s latest trade measures.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired a review meeting in Islamabad on Tuesday, directing officials to include top business leaders and exporters in the delegation to ensure a mutually beneficial outcome.

The move comes in response to the sweeping U.S. duties that have sparked concern among Pakistani exporters. The Prime Minister reaffirmed the importance of Pakistan’s longstanding trade partnership with the U.S., calling for a strategic approach to safeguard national export interests.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, several cabinet members, and senior trade officials. Reports from a dedicated working group were reviewed, outlining possible strategies to navigate the evolving trade landscape.

Pakistan’s embassy in Washington is also actively engaged with U.S. authorities, facilitating diplomatic efforts ahead of the delegation’s visit.

PM Sharif emphasized that including influential exporters in the talks would strengthen Pakistan’s negotiating position and help sustain export growth amid global headwinds.
