ISLAMABAD — Former U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to visit Pakistan in September, marking what could be the first visit by a U.S. president to the country in nearly two decades, according to reports from two prominent Pakistani television news channels citing sources familiar with diplomatic developments.
If confirmed, the visit would be the first by a U.S. head of state since President George W. Bush’s 2006 trip to Islamabad, signaling a potential reset or strengthening of bilateral ties between Washington and Islamabad.
The reports also suggest that Trump will proceed to India after his expected stop in Pakistan. However, Pakistan’s Foreign Office has officially stated that it has no knowledge of any confirmed visit from Trump at this stage.
The potential visit follows what many analysts described as a significant moment in U.S.-Pakistan relations — Trump’s rare and high-profile meeting with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir, at the White House last month. The meeting was seen as an unprecedented engagement between the Pentagon and Pakistan’s military leadership.
Though no official itinerary or diplomatic confirmation has been made public, the news has generated widespread interest both regionally and internationally, particularly in the context of renewed geopolitical alignments in South Asia. Analysts note that if the visit materializes, it could have wide-ranging implications for U.S. relations with both Pakistan and India.
