‘Is This the Oil Trump Spoke Of? Netizens Troll Pakistan
US President Donald Trump, last month, announced sealing a trade deal with Pakistan, saying that Washington will work with Islamabad to develop what he described as the South Asian nation’s “massive oil reserves”. In a social media post, the US President also wondered if Pakistan could sell oil to India “some day”.
“We have just concluded a deal with the country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive oil reserves,” Trump had said in a post on Truth Social on July 30, 2025.
Now, with the video going viral, netizens took aim at the announcement. A user online referred to the black water to the “oil” referenced by Donald Trump, ridiculing the country’s frequent economic pleas for aid.
‘Oil discovered in Pakistan,” a user wrote.

Pakistan’s deadly flood situation
Pakistan has been reeling from flooding triggered by torrential rains, with more than 400 people killed since August 14. Karachi was inundated following a heavy downpour, paralysing the southern port city of 20 million people less than a week after deadly flash floods swept away villages in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
More than 700 people have been killed in the flooding and landslides across the South Asian nation since June, with forecasters warning of further downpours until Saturday.
