Buy Pakistani?
The Pentagon is about to waive "buy American" provisions of U.S. law and
allow Pakistan to provide the goatskin leather used in the distinctive U.S.

Do you know any economics theory? If not (and I suspect this is the

"comparative advantage" to see why it might well be in the interests
of both the USA and Pakistan to do this.
