"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," Trump wrote, without elaborating.

"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," Trump wrote on social media.

Under the 47th US president, Washington has tried to negotiate trade pacts with several of America's trade partner countries over what Trump has often described as unfair trade relations.
