According to Pakistani media, US President Donald Trump may visit Pakistan in September. If this happens, it will be the first visit by an American President to Pakistan in 19 years. However, official confirmation is still awaited.
Trump PAK Visit: According to news circulating in Pakistani media, US President Donald Trump may visit Pakistan in September 2025. If this visit occurs, it will be the first time in 19 years that a US President has visited Pakistan. Previously, George W. Bush visited Pakistan in March 2006. News of Trump's visit comes at a time when a slight warming of relations between the US and Pakistan is being felt.
Meeting between Trump and Pakistan Army Chief
According to sources, Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir recently visited the United States. During this visit, he met with Donald Trump. This meeting is being seen as a new turning point in relations between the two countries. It is believed that Trump's visit to Pakistan has become possible after this discussion. However, it is not yet clear whether the visit will be official or private.
Response from the White House and the State Department
Regarding Trump's potential visit to Pakistan, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry has clarified that it has no official information in this regard. Meanwhile, the White House has also not yet confirmed the visit. Despite this, news about Trump's visit to Islamabad is continuously circulating in Pakistani media.
Why is this visit special?
If Donald Trump visits Pakistan, it will be diplomatically significant. Relations between the US and Pakistan have been subject to ups and downs in recent years due to relations with China and India. Now that Pakistan maintains close ties with China, efforts to engage with the United States have also intensified. Trump's potential visit is considered part of this diplomatic strategy.
Such a visit happened 19 years ago
The last time a US President visited Pakistan was in 2006 when then-President George W. Bush traveled there. Prior to that, Bill Clinton visited Pakistan for a few hours in 2000. After these two visits, Donald Trump's potential visit is now under discussion, which would be a significant event after a gap of two decades.
Trump's claim and Indo-Pak tensions
In the context of recent tensions on the border between India and Pakistan, Trump claimed that a ceasefire agreement between the two countries was reached on his initiative. This statement also came at a time when India launched Operation Sindoor against terrorism, which targeted terrorist hideouts in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK). In such a situation, Trump's visit to Pakistan may indirectly affect Indo-Pak relations as well.
