🇵🇰🇺🇸 Pakistan found a shortcut to Washington and it runs through the Trump family's wallet.
After the cypher, after Khan, after the military flipped Pakistan's entire foreign policy, Munir needed to make sure the relationship stuck. So when Trump moved into crypto, Pakistan built an entire government body around it overnight. The Pakistan Crypto Council appeared almost overnight, and within weeks of its creation the Trump family's own firm World Liberty Financial had a delegation on a plane to Islamabad.
That delegation was led by Zach Witkoff, son of Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, and it landed in Islamabad with one agenda. By the end of the visit, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Munir both personally sitting in the room, Pakistan's Finance Minister had signed a deal committing to route a portion of Pakistan's annual remittances, somewhere between $36 to $38 billion a year, through the Trump family's own USD1 stablecoin. A deal that puts money directly through a firm the Trump family majority owns.
It kept going. When rare earth supply chains became a hot topic in Washington, Pakistan announced a sweeping $500 million rare earths agreement with a Missouri based company. Beyond a symbolic first shipment, nothing commercial has actually moved under that deal. When Trump floated an international stabilization force for Gaza, Pakistan volunteered troops before anyone asked twice.
The pattern is consistent. Every time Trump had a priority, Pakistan showed up with something to offer, crypto routes, rare earths, soldiers, whatever was needed to stay in the headlines and in Washington's good books.
Pakistan promised much and delivered little. But the promises were always enough to keep Islamabad relevant.
The cypher set all of this in motion. A government willing to put Trump family money ahead of its own national interest to keep the relationship alive.
