According to World Wide Web, on September 25 local time, US President Trump received visiting Pakistan Prime Minister Sharif and Marshal Munir at the White House. This is the first bilateral meeting between the leaders of the United States and Pakistan since July 2019, which is also seen as a relaxation of U.S. -Pakistan relations.

In fact, Trump and Sharif met on September 23rd, but leaders of Qatar, Turkey and other countries were also involved at that time.

The bilateral meeting between the United States and Pakistan will focus more on bilateral relations between the United States and Pakistan and future strategic discussions.

After the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2018, the relationship between the two countries has rapidly changed, coupled with the United States and India getting closer and closer later, which has also resulted in the two sides.

And this time Trump in the White House receiving Sharif and Munir, not only did not according to the "practice", first came a big hand to a downtown, on the contrary, also called Sharif a great leader, said that the visit to the White House both were very good.

You know, when Trump rarely boasts people, even in the face of South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, who is visiting with a "big gift package", he first talks on social media, and then it eases after the talks start.

This time Trump praised Sharif. In addition to thanking Pakistan for nominating the Nobel Peace Prize for Trump, he also wanted to win over this "Pakistan Railway".

To this end, Trump has been offering olive branches to Pakistan since March this year, offering quite attractive conditions.

First is the tariff issue.

Since Trump launched the tariff war that swept the world in April this year, there have been complaints from countries around the world. Even core allies of the United States such as Europe, Japan and South Korea have been "poisoned" by Trump.

Among them, the most miserable is India, which is at odds with Pakistan. In addition to imposing a 25% tariff on India for the reason of improving the trade deficit, Trump also imposed a 25%"secondary tariff" on it with the "Russian oil tax", resulting in the total tariff rate of India's exports to the United States. The tariff rate has reached an exaggerated 50%, which is called the "ceiling" among all U.S. allies.

On the other hand, the United States 'tariff rate on Pakistan is only 19%, which is simply a day by day compared to India.

Secondly, in July this year, a super-large oil field was discovered in Pakistan. Preliminary estimates are that the reserves of the oil field will exceed 220 billion barrels. In addition, there are about 16 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, which instantly made Pakistan leap from a poor oil-rich country to the world's fourth largest oil reserve country.

Once these resources are deployed, Pakistan can completely get out of the current poverty, not to say that it can ¡°pick a thousand dollars¡± like Saudi Arabia, but at least not be on the sidelines of the word ¡°poverty¡±.

The only regret is that the oil field is almost entirely shale oil, it can be said that Pakistan is "untouchable". at this time the United States "raised out" and expressed willingness to cooperate with Pakistan to mining oil resources in its territory.

As the country with the most mature shale oil extraction technology in the world, Pakistan naturally agrees readily. After all, although oil is called liquid gold, oil resources that cannot be realized are equivalent to none.

The United States and Pakistan formally signed an agreement on cooperative exploitation in August this year. The United States will provide equipment and technical support for Pakistan to develop domestic oil resources, while Pakistan will supply rare earths and other rare mineral resources to the United States.

At the same time, in order to ensure that Pakistan can develop its mineral resources smoothly, the United States will provide Pakistan with technical and personnel support and invest $500 million in Pakistan's minerals.

It can be said that Pakistan, in addition to a place, and some security measures, is almost "enjoy it."

Simultaneously, because of the backward infrastructure in Pakistan, the difficulty of mining and transportation exists a certain difficulty, which has led to the United States is necessary to help Bakis, the construction of the mining area to the port along the infrastructure.

Therefore, in terms of results, Pakistan can be said to have all the benefits, and it basically does not move much, and all links have been covered by the United States.

But the United States has never been a philanthropist, as before Ukraine, the United States is doing its best to help Ukraine, and in the end, Ukraine not only spit out the food in its mouth, but even the future of the country is also "acquired" by the United States.

In the same vein, the reason why the United States is willing to invest in Pakistan needs not to be said much, which has also led the outside world to speculate that China-Pakistan relations may change.

First of all, as the "blood" of modern industry, oil has an extraordinary allure to any country. The United States can be a master for decades because of the deep binding between the US dollar and oil, an international hard currency.

The United States is willing to jointly develop oil resources within its territory with Pakistan for the simple reason that it wants to have a considerable say in these oil resources to ensure that its oil-bound dollar hegemony will not be affected, thereby maintaining today's international trade order. Dominance.

Second, the trade war sparked by Trump, China is seen by the United States as a nail in the eye, sanctions on China for various reasons, China step by step counter, and eventually the United States in the face of China's "rare-earth king boom" after falling into an embarrassing situation.

This has also led to a deadlock in Sino-US trade negotiations. Trump has repeatedly backed down and extended the Sino-US truce.

Until now, the United States, because of the failure to find a proper and effective solution, has been thrown by China's rare-earth export control card, which has caused many U.S. enterprises and U.S. military industry to fall into a state of rare-earth shortage, and from time to time has to "rest."

So at this time, the rare-earth mineral in Pakistan is undoubtedly the hope of the United States to break through China's rare-earth restriction, which is also an important reason why the United States is willing to invest money.

Last but not least, Pakistan, as the highest-level partnership established by China with the outside world-the all-weather strategic cooperative partnership, has always been affectionately called "Pakistan Railway" by China.

Whether Pakistan cooperates with the United States to exploit oil fields or sell important rare earth resources this time, it will be a doomed fact that bilateral relations between the United States and Pakistan will continue to heat up under the background of U.S.-Pakistan cooperation.

From a Pakistani point of view, this may be a helpless move, but for the United States, this is a good opportunity to pull the ¡°Bartel¡± and separate the relationship between China and Pakistan.

During the visit of Wang Yi to Pakistan in August, the Pakistani side has already said that it hopes that China will understand more, but also stressed that U.S. and Pakistan cooperation must have the participation of Chinese enterprises, otherwise the talks are exempt.

China has long been determining its peaceful and neutral foreign policy without allies and is destined to not be affected by it because China knows that there are only eternal interests between nations and there are no eternal friends.
