Trump says US delegation will no longer travel to Pakistan for Iran talks: Fox News

Donald Trump said on Saturday that U.S. negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will no longer travel to Pakistan for planned discussions with Iran, arguing that the trip was unnecessary and that Washington holds a stronger position in the ongoing tensions.

Speaking to Aishah Hasnie of Fox News, Trump said he had already instructed his team to cancel the planned 18-hour flight, stating that the delegation should not “sit around talking about nothing” and insisting that Iran can reach out to the United States at any time.

“I told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, ‘Nope, you’re not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards,’” Trump said, adding that “they can call us anytime they want.”
