Recently, closeness between America and Pakistan has been increasing. Photos of Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief General Asim Munir were very much discussed with US President Donald Trump at the White House.
The White House has also released a new picture, in which Asim Munir is showing samples of Pakistan’s Rare Earth Minerals to President Trump. During this time, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is also seen standing in the middle.
Learn what was in the box?
According to the Times of India report, this picture is also included in the gallery containing pictures of Shahbaz Sharif and Asim Munir with Trump. In this, the two leaders are showing an open wooden box to Trump, in which colorful stones are kept. Two big stones are seen and monazite in them. These stones are usually made of rare economies such as serums, lanthaneums and neodimiums.
Pakistan has been promoting its huge oil, gas and mineral wealth for a long time. Some of these rare rare meanings are found in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, the commercial evidence of these mineral reserves has not yet been revealed. But the Pakistani leadership has shown the glimpse of these minerals to President Trump to demonstrate the cooperation made with a private American company earlier this month.
Rare Earth Deal increased China’s concern
During this, PM Shahbaz Sharif wore a lapel pin with flags of both America and Pakistan. Some Pakistani trolls described it as shameful on social media. In this meeting, Shahbaz Sharif was seen very close with the American leader. This picture from the White House shows that Pakistan is trying to show its strong relations with the US and become a reliable supplier of important minerals amidst regional tension.
Rare Earth Mineral Deals between Pakistan and America can become a big challenge for China. The US has control over the supply of these rare minerals. The move came at a time when crypto capital efforts were being made through a British Pakistani businessman to earn money to American business associated with the Trump family.
