Imran Khan’s sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, have called on US President Donald Trump to help secure their father’s release, saying he is “one person who could make a difference.” In an interview with Piers Morgan, they said Trump and Imran Khan had “mutual respect” and “great conversations” while in office, Firstpost reported.

The brothers revealed they have applied for visas to visit Pakistan but face delays and warnings of possible arrest. “We’ve been told by officials and family sources that we could be arrested if we go,” Kasim said.

Despite this, they remain hopeful of travelling and believe Trump’s support could influence the situation, according to Firstpost.
