Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir presented rare earth minerals to US President Donald Trump during a White House meeting, aiming to strengthen Pakistan-US ties. The 90-minute Oval Office discussion included VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, covering security, economic engagement, counterterrorism, and investment opportunities. The US expressed strong interest in Pakistan's rare earth minerals, crypto mining potential, and oil exploration prospects. Earlier this month, US Strategic Metals signed a $500 million investment deal with Pakistan covering critical minerals including antimony, copper, gold, and tungsten. Pakistan claims mineral reserves worth trillions of dollars, hoping foreign investment will help overcome its prolonged financial crisis. (PC: X)
