Trump cancels US delegation’s trip to Pakistan for Iran negotiations

A US negotiating team, including US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will no longer be traveling to Pakistan for US-Iran talks, US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Saturday.Trump stated that he canceled the trip to prevent his team from taking an 18-hour flight “to sit around talking about nothing.” “We have all the cards,” he continued, adding that “they can call us anytime they want,” in reference to Iran’s negotiators. Shortly before Trump announced the cancellation, two Pakistani government sources told Reuters that the Iranian delegation had left Islamabad. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was among those who left after conducting a round of talks with Pakistani officials, according to Iranian state media. In a post on X/Twitter, Araghchi claimed that his visit to Pakistan was "very fruitful."He stated that he had shared Iran's position regarding a "workable framework to permanently end the war" with the US, but noted that he has "yet to see if the US is truly serious about diplomacy."
