The claim that a video featuring former Prime Minister Imran Khan and US presidential candidate Donald Trump was played at New York’s Times Square as part of Trump’s election campaign is false, according to an iVerify factcheck.

On November 4, several users on X shared a video of Times Square playing Imran Khan’s footage with Trump, in relation with US election campaign.

The caption of the video reads, “Imran Khan is truly an international brand. In the American presidential election campaign, the campaign is being played by playing Imran Khan’s video so that Pakistani voters vote for Trump.”

However, the clip is doctored as the billboard originally played a montage of pictures belonging to Pakistani YouTuber couple Ducky Bhai and Aroob Jatoi.
