"I May Go to Pakistan": Trump

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, April 16, 2026, before departing for Las Vegas, President Trump revealed that the US and Iran are "very close" to reaching a deal.

When asked about a potential trip to Pakistan for the signing ceremony, Trump responded, "I may go, yes. If the deal is signed in Islamabad, I may go." This statement follows a high-stakes meeting last weekend in Islamabad led by Vice President JD Vance, which concluded without a formal breakthrough. However, the White House has confirmed that talks for a second round of negotiations are underway, with Islamabad as the likely venue. A presidential visit to Pakistan for such a monumental treaty would mark a significant shift in regional diplomacy and US-Pakistan relations.
