Islamabad (TDI): Gentry Beach, a close aide to US President Donald Trump, who is currently leading a delegation of investors to Pakistan to explore business opportunities, said on Wednesday the US administration has nothing but respect for the incumbent leadership of Pakistan, led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Gentry Beach, who also met PM Shehbaz, made these remarks at a media conference while responding questions about Richard Grenell — Trump’s special missions envoy in the new administration — who had tweeted in support of incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan, stirring controversy.
The US investor said Grenell “may have been misled” about Pakistan.
“He told me personally that many deepfakes and AI-generated content are circulating online, but they are neither true nor real,” he stated in response to a query.
He said that Grenell had a very defined view and “supports everything we are doing in Pakistan”.
“I think Grenell now has a better understanding of Pakistan’s current situation than he did pbefore. I have seen no evidence that our government in the US has anything but respect for their leadership here,” he added.

Beach said US President Donald Trump believed in economic diplomacy and that their ongoing trip was part of that effort.
“We plan on investing billions of dollars in Pakistan in various sectors, including critical minerals and real estate. From a real estate point of view, we brought our real estate development partners, and I am going to build some of the most high-end and luxury properties ever seen in Pakistan,” he added.

He also mentioned energy, technology, artificial intelligence, and other sectors that needed attention and investment.
Investment Opportunities in Pakistan
Beach said there were numerous investment opportunities in Pakistan with an amazing base of intelligent people, which he stated remained “overlooked” in the past, across different fields.
“We view Pakistan as one of the biggest international opportunities which is very unique,” he said.
Beach said he had remained very close to the Trump administration for a long time, and that now the United States was entering a new era of peace and prosperity under President Trump’s leadership.
