Zardari is in US to attend the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, according to media reports.
Zardari, who returned to Pakistan late last month after spending about 18 months in Dubai in a self-imposed exile, would proceed to France from the US, media reports said.
His son, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is expected to join him in the US on January 25 after the PPP’s Lahore-Faisalabad rally, which is scheduled to be held on January 19.
