One prediction market prices this story:
- Pakistan — the market puts it at 4%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump physically enters Pakistan between now and January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if he does not visit within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the linked drone deal for a valid visit, but only his physical presence counts.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
