Putting at rest the intense media speculation over the possible visit to Pakistan by US President Donald Trump next month when he is likely to visit India, Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson on Thursday clarified that it’s not on the cards.
Addressing the media persons in Islamabad, Pakistan FO spokesperson said that President Trump “wants an exclusive visit to Pakistan which is not linked to any other visit in the region because Pakistan has its own distinct place.”

Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had further boosted the speculations by saying that Mr Trump would visit Pakistan soon.
