Trump says trade talks with Pakistan next week

US President Donald Trump said on Friday representatives from Pakistan are coming to the United States next week as the South Asian country seeks to make a deal on tariffs.

Pakistan faces a potential 29% tariff on its exports to the United States due to a $3 billion trade surplus with the world's biggest economy, under tariffs announced by Washington last month on countries around the world.

Trump said he would have no interest in making a deal with the South Asian country or its neighbour, India, if they were to engage in war with each other.
