US President Donald Trump announced a new energy deal with Pakistan on Wednesday which includes plans to develop oil reserves in the country. But now this deal has sparked controversy after Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch has strongly warned Trump saying that Pakistan has no real oil reserves and that Army Chief General Asim Munir has misled the US. Mir Yar Baloch rejected Pakistans claim over the oil and other natural resources. He said the reserves of oil gas copper lithium uranium and rare earth minerals are not located in Punjab or the rest of Pakistan but in Balochistan and they rightfully belong to the Baloch people not Islamabad. Trump-Munir Meeting in June Back in June 2025 General Asim Munir and President Trump had a high-profile lunch meeting at the White House. During that meeting they reportedly discussed Balochistan’s vast reserves of important minerals. Balochistan is known to be rich in natural resources and now it seems the US is interested in this region. The Pakistan National Assembly also recently discussed a potential deal on strategic minerals with the US. During the discussion one lawmaker was heard saying that General Munir went to Washington to strike a deal with Trump over Balochistan’s rare minerals. The controversy is growing as Baloch leaders are accusing Pakistan of trying to sell off resources that don’t belong to it raising serious political and ethical questions around the deal. Mir Yar Baloch accuses General Munir of misleading Trump Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch has accused General Asim Munir and Pakistani diplomats of intentionally giving false information to US officials about the presence of oil reserves in Pakistan. He warned US President Donald Trump saying “Pakistan has no oil reserves. General Munir has misled you with fake claims. The natural resources in Balochistan belong only to the Baloch people.” He made it clear that Balochistan is not for sale. Speaking firmly he said that neither the land nor the minerals of Balochistan can be used without the clear consent of the Baloch people. He warned both the US and Pakistan against making deals that ignore the rights of the locals. In a post shared by Mir Yar Baloch he wrote: “Allowing Pakistan’s radical army to exploit Balochistan’s mineral wealth worth billions of dollars would be a serious strategic mistake. Such access would boost ISI’s operational and financial power allowing it to expand its global terror network recruit militants and possibly plan major attacks like 9/11 again.” He ended his message by appealing to the United States and the international community to recognize the truth and support the freedom and rightful ownership of the Baloch people over their land and natural resources.
