Will Donald Trump visit Islamabad? Netizens allege fake news, say 'Pakistan's media appears increasingly detached from reality'
This has lead to widespread online debate on whether Trump will even visit Islamabad at all, or whether Pakistan's media is simply "detached from reality".
Pakistan's media appears increasingly detached from reality, frequently disseminating misinformation as a matter of routine.
Netizens question Donald Trump Islamabad visit
The rumors of Donald Trump's supposed Islamabad visit drew strong reactions from advocacy groups such as Nepal Correspondence, while sharply accused the United States of snuggling up to a 'terror factory' to advance its own interests.

In response, user Sougat Chakraborty said that the rumored visit was 'fake news' because Geo TV had mentioned the date to be September 18, which would coincide with a confirmed visit to the UK.
Fake news. GeoTV pak started this. Clarified by@sidhant https://t.co/sqTBawct7A
However, Nepal Correspondence still believed a visit was on the cards at some other date.
We are not mentioning any specific dates but such a visit is likely. Wait for our thread to understand the context.
Other users continued to speculate on what an Islamabad visit would entail, with Dr gsp believing that Trump wanted to visit an American nuclear weapons facility that had been struck during Operation Sindoor.

User India Unfiltered posted a recap of the recent India-Pakistan tensions, and claimed that the Pakistan Foreign Office had denied any knowledge of a supposed visit.

Pakistan has been making recent overtures to Trump
Regardless of whether or not Donald Trump actually visits Islamabad, Pakistan has been making strong efforts to woo the United States president. Pakistan was among the countries alongside Israel that recommended Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. The country is also looking into crypto and rare earths deals to improve its relationship with the United States.

Trump Sending More Immigration Agents to NYC After Shooting
The Trump administration will send additional immigration agents to New York, blaming the city's sanctuary policies for a shooting by an undocumented migrant that left an off-duty federal customs officer seriously wounded. The announcement, delivered by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from One World Trade Center on Monday, marked an escalation in the administration's efforts to assert federal control in Democratic-led cities that limit cooperation with immigration authorities. 'We have a city like New York City that continues to not honor detainers, and to release individuals that are committing crimes on our streets,' Noem said. The shooting occurred Saturday night near the George Washington Bridge, where an off-duty US Customs and Border Protection officer was sitting with a friend along the Hudson River. Police said that two men approached on a scooter and one opened fire. The officer returned fire but was shot in the face and arm. A suspect, 21-year-old Miguel Mora, was also wounded and taken to a hospital. Noem said Mora, a Dominican national, entered the US illegally in 2023 and was under a deportation order issued in November. He had been arrested four times on charges including assault, grand larceny and armed robbery, and was wanted in cases in New York and Massachusetts. 'This didn't have to happen. It was because of sanctuary city policies and failed leadership,' Noem said. Jay Clayton, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Mora would be charged in Manhattan federal court. A second suspect was arrested on Monday, while the federal officer remains hospitalized and is expected to recover. New York's 'sanctuary' laws, passed in 2014 and 2017, bar city agencies including police from carrying out most civil deportation actions unless the individual has been convicted of one or more of 170 serious crimes — including homicide, rape and robbery — within the past five years. It's one of several major US cities — along with Los Angeles, Chicago and others — that have adopted so-called sanctuary policies restricting local law enforcement from assisting in most federal immigration actions. The Trump administration has vowed to crack down on those jurisdictions — even sending the California National Guard and Marines into LA — arguing that such policies endanger public safety and undermine federal law. Mayor Eric Adams defended the city's approach Sunday, saying it follows state law. 'Here in New York City, our laws are clear on what we can do and what we can't do,' Adams said. 'We will always coordinate with our partners going after dangerous individuals.' The Trump administration sees the matter differently. Tom Homan, the administration's border czar, said the city's refusal to let federal officers to make jail-based arrests has forced US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to conduct higher-risk operations in neighborhoods. 'You don't want to let us in the jails to arrest a bad guy in the safety and security of a jail,' Homan said. 'You want to release him into the street, which makes it unsafe for the alien, because anything can happen in an on-street arrest. 'So what are we gonna do?' he added. 'We're gonna put more agents in New York City to look for that bad guy. So sanctuary cities get exactly what they don't want: more agents in the community.' The enforcement expansion is backed by $150 billion in new federal funding approved as part of a broader immigration and border security initiative. The package includes money to hire 10,000 additional officers and expand detention capacity nationwide. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Putin Dollar Shock For Trump After BRICS Declaration? Russia's Big De-Dollarisation Announcement Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov clarified that BRICS nations don't aim to replace the US dollar, but rather seek alternatives for mutual settlements to circumvent US sanctions. He stated BRICS intends to trade in national currencies, with Russia already conducting 90% of payments with partners in local denominations. This counters US President Trump's concerns and threats of tariffs on BRICS countries, who are also developing "BRICS Pay," a decentralized blockchain payment system for cross-border transactions. 42.2K views | 1 day ago

Nikam: State must move SC against acquittal of accused
Kolhapur: Newly appointed Rajya Sabha member and special prosecutor for the 1993 Mumbai blasts Ujjwal Nikam on Monday urged state govt to immediately appeal to the SC regarding the acquittal of 11 surviving accused in the 2006 Mumbai serial blasts case. Speaking to the reporters in Solapur, where he was presenting a murder case before the sessions court, Nikam said, "The acquittal by the Bombay high court is a matter of study as to whether the law was misread or wrong evidence was collected." It should be noted that Nikam was not involved in the prosecution of the 2006 blasts. A Mumbai sessions court had initially convicted the accused, but the high court later overturned this decision on appeal. Nikam also went on to highlight similarities between the two major incidents. "In the 1993 blasts, RDX was used. Similarly, in the 2006 blasts, RDX was used again," he said. "Prima facie, it appears that Mumbai's sessions court pronounced the conviction based on the confession recorded by the accused under the Prevention of Terrorist Activities (POTA) Act, but the high court has found the same confessions not reliable," he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Nikam suggested that now there is an urgent need to seek a stay on the acquittal by approaching the SC. "Many innocent lives were lost in the serial blasts. The HC not trusting the evidence is a serious concern. The govt, after studying the order, must immediately appeal before the SC," he said.
