Geo News Admits False Report About Trump Visit to Pakistan
In a rare public admission, Geo News and its senior journalist Azaz Syed have apologized for falsely reporting the Trump visit to Pakistan scheduled for September 18, 2025. The report, which quickly went viral, turned out to be entirely inaccurate and unverified.
How the Trump Visit to Pakistan Story Broke
Earlier this month, Geo News aired a segment confidently claiming that former U.S. President Donald Trump would visit Islamabad in September. The announcement, backed by journalist Azaz Syed, was shared widely across social media and various platforms.
However, the report lacked confirmation from either U.S. or Pakistani officials, raising early doubts.
Journalist Azaz Syed Issues Public Apology
Azaz Syed later admitted that the news was misreported and premature. He issued a statement:
“I feel deeply embarrassed to admit that I misreported the date related to U.S. President Donald Trump — the information I shared was premature and not yet final. I take full responsibility for this oversight and offer my sincerest apologies to all my followers, including my organization, Geo News.”
He also reaffirmed his commitment to accuracy, transparency, and journalistic integrity.
The Truth About Donald Trump’s September Plans
According to official information, Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are scheduled to be in the United Kingdom from September 17 to 19, 2025, for a State Visit hosted by King Charles.
This directly contradicts the earlier report about the Trump visit to Pakistan, confirming it as false.
Impact of the False Reporting
The incident has sparked debate about media responsibility in Pakistan. Many critics have pointed out how unverified political news can damage credibility and mislead the public.
While Geo News has taken responsibility and issued a retraction, the Trump visit to Pakistan controversy is a reminder of the importance of cross-checking sources before publishing sensitive international news.
Final Thoughts
Though the Trump visit to Pakistan report has now been debunked, the episode highlights how fast misinformation can spread—even from major media outlets. The apology from Geo News and Azaz Syed is a step toward transparency, but it also sets a higher bar for verification in future reporting.
