United States (US) embassy has stated on Sunday that a meeting between President Donald J Trump and Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif is not scheduled.
Trump is visiting Saudi Arabia for the first US-Arab Islamic summit which is being attended by heads of 55 Muslim states including PM Nawaz. The summit aims at forming a joint strategy to counter extremism.
Trump has convened meetings with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud among leaders of different Gulf states.
According to excerpts released by the White House, Trump is to tell the leaders that time has come for "honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism", calling on religious leaders to condemn extremist attacks.
But Trump, who has been accused of anti-Islamic rhetoric in the past, will also extend a hand by insisting that "this is not a battle between different faiths".
"This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life, and decent people of all religions who seek to protect it. This is a battle between good and evil," Trump is expected to say.
The speech comes on the second day of a visit to Saudi Arabia, part of Trump s first foreign tour that will take him next to Israel and the Palestinian territories and then to Europe.
The first day saw the announcement of hundreds of billions of dollars in trade deals, welcome news for Trump as he faces mounting troubles at home linked with the probe into alleged Russian meddling during last year s election campaign.
