Is Trump travelling to Pakistan?

US President Donald Trump may travel to Pakistan to take part in high-stakes negotiations with Iran, as diplomatic efforts intensify to end the ongoing conflict between Washington and Tehran, according to media reports.

Citing sources familiar with the development, Reuters reported that Trump could attend the proposed talks in Islamabad either in person or virtually if a final agreement is ready to be signed. The talks are expected to take place this week, with Pakistan positioning itself as a key mediator in the crisis.

The potential visit comes at a critical juncture, with a fragile two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran set to expire. Trump has indicated that the truce is unlikely to be extended without tangible progress in negotiations. 

Pakistan has ramped up security preparations in Islamabad ahead of the possible talks, signalling that diplomatic channels remain active despite uncertainty over Iran’s participation. While Tehran had earlier ruled out attending, recent reports suggest it is “positively reviewing” the proposal, though no final decision has been made. 

Pakistan’s role as a mediator marks a notable diplomatic shift, with Islamabad attempting to position itself as a bridge between the US and Iran at a time of heightened regional volatility. Analysts say the country’s involvement could lend credibility to the talks, given its ties with both Washington and Tehran.

A successful agreement could help stabilise global energy markets and reduce the risk of a wider conflict in the region. However, deep-seated mistrust between the US and Iran continues to cast a shadow over the negotiations.

Whether Trump ultimately travels to Pakistan will likely depend on the progress made in the coming days, as diplomatic channels remain active and the window for a deal narrows.
