US President Donald Trump has indicated that Washington’s engagement with Tehran will continue, but not through in-person negotiations in Islamabad. Speaking to Fox News, Trump said he had cancelled plans to send US representatives for talks, citing Iran’s reluctance to participate. He stated that Iran could either call or come to Washington instead, adding that the United States would not undertake an 18-hour flight for negotiations while holding what he described as a stronger position.
He reiterated that Iran cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon and said the cancellation of travel does not signal a return to hostilities. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
