PTI founder Imran Khan’s sons stated on Friday that former U.S. President Donald Trump is someone who “can make a difference” in their father’s current imprisonment.
During an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Kasim Khan was asked if he had any message for Trump. He responded, “If anyone can make a difference, it’s him.” Kasim further revealed that he and his brother had met with Trump’s close aide, Richard Grenell, who has publicly voiced support for Imran’s release on X.

“We know Trump and our father shared a strong relationship.

We’d definitely welcome a conversation with him or any form of support.”
Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khanum posted on X that his sons, Suleiman and Kasim, had applied for Pakistani visas and were awaiting approval from the interior ministry for their upcoming visit. “A few days ago, Suleiman and Kasim submitted their visa applications to the Pakistan High Commission in London. The ambassador has informed us that he’s waiting for clearance from the Ministry of Interior in Islamabad,” she wrote.
