Pakistani netizens mocked the nation’s civilian and military leadership, taunting them as India and the US announced a deal to lower tariffs. They said that Monday’s announcement showed that US President Donald Trump treated Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir “like a mistress" as he announced a trade agreement with India.

India and the US have agreed to a trade deal under which Washington will bring down the reciprocal tariffs on Indian goods to 18 per cent. Trump made an announcement regarding the trade deal on Monday after a phone conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistanis pointed out that India was able to get a deal reducing tariffs without kowtowing before the Trump administration.

“Donald Trump has treated the Field Marshal like that mistress who makes her lover do all the illegal and dirty work, and when the time comes to give or take something, she says I am compelled to obey my family’s decision, forget me. My body will remain my husband’s, but my soul will always remain yours," a Pakistani X user, Umar Ali, wrote, sharing an AI-generated image of a crying Field Marshal Asim Munir holding a box of minerals in front of the India Today cover of PM Modi and Trump.

Before Trump announced the deal, he had tweeted the January edition cover of India Today where he and PM Modi were pictured for a feature story and also a photo of the India Gate."In the past 6 months, India concluded free trade agreements with the European Union, United Kingdom, Oman and New Zealand, and now gets Trump tariffs reduced to 18%—all without getting into anyone’s bund or nominating anyone for Nobel Prize," tweeted Jungjoo Gernail, a parody account of Asim Munir.

Imran Khan Supporters Poke Fun

Much of the criticism of the Pakistani regime came from Imran Khan supporters and members of his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, who claim that an “illegitimate" government is running Pakistan.

X user Zubair Ahmed Khan wrote: “So after all the appeasement of epic proportions by this imposed regime to Trump even accepting forces for Israel peace board, Pak ended up with 19% US tariffs while India have now 18% tariffs imposed by US. Great Foreign Policy achievements! (sic)".

Former PTI minister Hammad Azhar said foreign policy in the modern era “isn’t about optics or personal relationships". “It’s about leveraging economic strength, tariffs, and market access. India’s recent trade deals with the EU and the US prove the point. Sycophancy & photo ops are useless," he wrote on X.
