Trump Set to Visit Pakistan and India This September.
U.S. President Donald Trump is planning a landmark visit to Pakistan in September, followed by a trip to India—an official tour that would be the first by a U.S. president in nearly two decades, according to Pakistani television sources . If confirmed, the visit signals a significant diplomatic overture as Washington seeks to deepen its strategic ties in South Asia amid growing regional tensions.
Pakistan’s Foreign Office stated it has no formal confirmation yet, and the U.S. embassy in Islamabad deferred comment to the White House . The proposed itinerary may include participation in the Quad leaders' summit—highlighting evolving U.S. engagement with Indo-Pacific allies and regional security initiatives.
The trip follows Trump’s recent meeting with Pakistan’s army chief in Washington, suggesting renewed interest in defense cooperation. Analysts say the visit could address counterterrorism efforts, economic partnerships, and regional stability amid rivalries with China and Russia.
Local and international observers are eager to see how these diplomatic steps align with U.S. policies towards South Asia, particularly regarding trade, defense aid, and geopolitical influence.
