And trade representative Kirk, who expressed concern in the letter, because last week a major trade organization in the United States, the chamber of Commerce, urged Hilary and Kirk to put pressure on Congress to substantially reduce US textile tariffs and help Pakistan recover.

The National Cotton Council and three other industrial organizations said in the letter.

These groups say: "we understand and recognize the recent rainstorm and flood in Pakistan, causing huge human tragedies.

However, we believe that for the United States and other governments, the right way to deal with this situation is to continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Pakistan. "

These groups, including the US Manufacturing Trade Action Coalition, say they support serious efforts to create a "redevelopment opportunity zone" for Pakistan. The house of Representatives has passed similar legislation but is blocked in the Senate.

"These bills offer special tariff concessions to Pakistan, which accounts for 74% of Pakistan's exports to the United States, while products that retain normal tariffs are very critical categories for workers and producers in our entire hemisphere," they said.

These groups said in the letter: "however, if any product range or geographical coverage is covered in the above bill, the United States will lose a lot of textile and clothing employment opportunities, forcing domestic industries to strongly oppose such legislation."
