Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said a trade deal with the U.S. is "very close" after meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday, but officials in Washington did not offer a timeline.
"I think we are very close to finalizing a deal with the U.S.," Dar said at the Atlantic Council think tank on Friday. "Our teams have been here in Washington, discussing, having virtual meetings and a committee has been tasked by the prime minister to fine-tune now."
"It's not going to be months, not even weeks, I would say [just] days," he added.
The Trump administration has attempted to renegotiate trade agreements with many countries after announcing tariffs against dozens within the past few months.
