Will Donald Trump visit Islamabad? Netizens allege fake news, say 'Pakistan's media appears increasingly detached from reality'
Rumors of President Donald Trump visiting Pakistan in September have begun circulating as a result of reporting from the country's local news channels, including Saama and Geo TV. While Geo TV had gone as far as report that Donald Trump's visit would occur on September 18, this claim has been debunked due to the fact that the president is already scheduled for a visit to the United Kingdom from September 17 to 19.
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
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.

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.
Funny how geopolitics is pitching itself as a bitcoin mining hub, a source of rare earths and offering its support for a Nobel Peace prize for Donald Trump, as a cash-strapped Islamabad seeks to stave off hefty trade tariffs and deepen ties with the White House.
