President Trump has canceled the trip by his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad due to the Iranian position in peace negotiations, he told Axios.The big picture: I see no point of sending them on an 18-hour flight in the current situation [of the negotiations]. It's too long. We can do it just as well by telephone. The Iranians can call us if they want.
We are not gonna travel just to sit there, the president said.Asked whether it means he is going to resume the war Trump said: No. It doesn't mean that. We haven't thought about it yet.We have all the cards. We are not going to go there to sit around talking about nothing.This is breaking news.
