Pakistan, Iran decide to increase bilateral trade to USD 8 billion annually

Pakistan and Iran agreed on Sunday to increase bilateral trade to USD 8 billion annually, taking advantage of their geography and the "discount of distance," as trade ministers from the two countries held discussions to deepen economic and political ties. The agreement was reached during a meeting between Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan and Iranian Minister for Industry, Mines and Trade Mohammad Atabak on the sidelines of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's two-day state visit to Pakistan.

"[During the meeting], Kamal envisioned that, if fully leveraged, bilateral trade between Pakistan and Iran could easily exceed USD 5-8 billion annually in the coming years," the ministry said. Live Events Before departing from Tehran, Pezeshkian had said Iran and Pakistan have always maintained "good, sincere, and deep relations" and plan to increase bilateral trade volume to USD 10 billion annually. During Sunday's meeting, emphasis was placed on maximising the potential of neighbourhood trade, with Khan highlighting how ASEAN countries have benefited enormously by trading within their region. "Geography is an advantage. Pakistan and Iran must utilise this discount of distance. If we don't, we lose both time and cost benefits," he stated. The Pakistani minister suggested organising targeted trade delegations that include representatives from federal and provincial chambers of commerce, enabling focused discussions on market access and regulatory facilitation, according to the statement. "We've done this model successfully in Belarus and elsewhere," he was quoted in the statement as saying. "Let's do the same for Iran, starting with sectors that show the greatest potential for mutual benefit." The ministers also expressed a shared commitment to increasing the use of existing trade corridors and border facilities. Atabak also highlighted ongoing discussions about increasing Pakistani exports to Iran and encouraged swift follow-up on newly signed agreements. "Traders and industrialists in both countries are ready. They trust each other. What they need now is a clear and consistent facilitation mechanism from our side," he noted. Khan said that beyond bilateral gains, such connectivity could expand to Turkey, Central Asia, Russia, and even parts of West Asia, creating an economic bloc of substantial power and resilience. Atabak supported the idea of holding a dedicated B2B day during every high-level visit and offered to bring Iranian business groups to Pakistan for in-depth meetings, the statement said. Both ministers agreed on the importance of identifying specific sectors such as agriculture, livestock, services, energy, and cross-border logistics for future collaboration, the statement said. "With high-level political alignment and mutual trust, Pakistan and Iran appear poised to enter a new phase of strategic economic partnership that could reshape regional trade dynamics," it added.

'Stubborn moron' Powell must lower interest rates: Trump warns 'if he continues to refuse...'

US President Donald Trump unleashed a fiery reaction and blasted Fed Chairman Jerome Powell with a stream of insults for keeping the interest rate steady. In a post on Truth Social, the commander-in-chief called Jerome Powell 'stubborn moron' with a warning that if the Fed chair continues to refuse, the board should assume control. "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell, a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW. IF HE CONTINUES TO REFUSE, THE BOARD SHOULD ASSUME CONTROL, AND DO WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS HAS TO BE DONE!," Trump said in the rant-filled post.

Trump posted on his Truth Social platform, a day after the Federal Reserve announced its decision to hold the key lending rate steady. Live Events Fed keeps interest rates unchanged The US central bank has kept interest rates unchanged again, despite pressure from President Donald Trump to lower borrowing costs.

Trump has repeatedly insisted rates should be lower, down to 1% or less but Jerome Powell has taken little notice of Trump's long series of insults and repeatedly insisted he was focused on doing his job. Powell has cited uncertainty around the president's trade agenda and the volatility of markets as a reason to hold interest rates steady. 'That is a risk to be assessed and managed,' he told reporters, as quoted AP.

In return, Arizona will receive three minor leaguers: first baseman Tyler Locklear and right-handed pitchers Hunter Cranton and Juan Burgos. Suarez, 34, was widely considered one of the top power bats available ahead of the Thursday deadline. He now returns to Seattle, the team that originally traded him to Arizona in November 2023. Live Events This season, Suarez has clubbed 36 home runs - tied for the major league lead - and driven in 87 RBIs while batting .248 in 105 games. He earned his second career All-Star selection and made history as the first MLB player ever traded midseason after hitting 35 or more homers. Suárez previously spent two seasons with the Mariners in 2022 and 2023, where he hit a combined 53 home runs and drove in 183 RBIs. With this bold move, Seattle sends a clear signal that it's all-in on the postseason, bolstering its lineup with a proven slugger who's already familiar with the club and city. Cubs acquire Michael Soroka from Nationals The Chicago Cubs bolstered their rotation Wednesday night by acquiring veteran right-hander Michael Soroka from the Washington Nationals , as they push for the NL Central crown. In exchange, Washington received a pair of minor leaguers: infielder Ronny Cruz and outfielder Christian Franklin. Soroka, 27, was an All-Star in 2019 with the Atlanta Braves and joined the Nationals this offseason on a one-year, $9 million deal. This season, he holds a 3-8 record with a 4.87 ERA, providing a mix of experience and innings for a Washington team in transition. Reds get Ke'Bryan Hayes from Pirates On Wednesday, the Cincinnati Reds acquired third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for reliever Taylor Rogers and shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura. Tyler Rogers traded to Mets In a separate deal the same day, Taylor's twin brother, Tyler Rogers, was traded from the San Francisco Giants to the New York Mets. The Giants received a strong return for the rental reliever: right-hander José Butto, top outfield prospect Drew Gilbert, and pitching prospect Blade Tidwell.
