Pakistan has formed a high-level delegation to visit the United States, aiming to negotiate a reduction in the proposed 29 per cent US tariffs on Pakistani exports, ARY News reported. The delegation, led by Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan, will include senior officials from the Ministries of Commerce, Finance, and Foreign Office. According to ARY News, the delegation is likely to depart within a day or two.

The delegation aims to negotiate a reduction in the proposed US tariffs, eradicating non-tariff barriers, and enhancing trade between the two nations. Earlier, Pakistani exports had 9.9% of US tariff on average, but recently, 10% duties for 90 days have been increased by Washington, with a 29% tariff effect afterwards as planned, the ARY News said.
