The White House dismissed reports that US President Donald Trump will visit Pakistan. A White House official said on Thursday, “A trip to Pakistan has not been scheduled at this time.” This statement followed a Reuters report quoting local news channels saying Trump would visit Islamabad in September and later travel to India.

The Foreign Office spokesperson said he was unaware of Trump’s expected visit. A US embassy spokesperson in Islamabad told Reuters, “We have nothing to announce,” and added that the White House could confirm the president’s schedule.

Anadolu said diplomatic sources also denied claims of Trump’s visit to Pakistan on September 18.

Foreign Ministry sources called the news about Trump’s trip “fake” because the US president will visit the UK between September 17 and 19. A senior ministry official said, “We have no information about any such visit. If there is any such thing, the Foreign Ministry will officially announce that.”

A local news channel earlier reported that Trump was expected in Pakistan on September 18, citing unnamed ministry officials. An international news agency and several media outlets picked up this report. However, the news channel later withdrew the story and apologised for running an “unconfirmed” report.

The official schedule confirms Trump will visit the UK from September 17 to 19. These dates contradict earlier claims about a Pakistan trip.

Officials said they would announce any visit by the US president through proper diplomatic channels. They also urged people not to believe unverified reports in the media.
