Geo News and Senior Reporter Admits to False Report of Trump’s Visit to Pakistan

Geo News and its senior journalist Azaz Syed have publicly apologized after airing an unverified report claiming that US President Donald Trump would visit Pakistan on September 18.

The story, which was broadcast confidently by the network and widely shared on social media, turned out to be inaccurate.

Senior journalist Azaz Syed tweeted,

Today, 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, which has always trusted me. I remain firmly committed to accuracy, integrity, and transparency in my work, and I truly regret this mistake.

The confusion began when Geo News had reported Trump’s visit as a certainty, despite the lack of any official confirmation from U.S. or Pakistani authorities.

The report quickly gained traction, only to be debunked when it emerged that President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are scheduled to be in the United Kingdom from September 17 to 19, 2025, at the invitation of King Charles for a State Visit.
