Trump canceled the U.S. delegation's trip to Pakistan for talks with Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump has canceled a visit by an American delegation to Pakistan, where talks with Iran were to take place.
Fox News reported this.
The trip was to be led by Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
According to Trump, the U.S. sees no point in a long flight if, as he claims, the American side holds a strong position in the standoff with Iran.
“They can call us anytime, but you’re not going to fly 18 hours anymore just to sit and talk about nothing,” he said.
Earlier, the White House noted that the initiative for the talks allegedly came from the Iranian side.
Recall that Washington and Tehran are returning to dialogue in Islamabad following a first attempt at a settlement, which concluded on April 12 without significant results.
Prior to this, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Iran had repeatedly violated the ceasefire since its implementation between Washington and Tehran. According to Trump, there have been numerous incidents that cast doubt on Iran’s compliance with the ceasefire agreements.
On the eve of a possible resumption of direct talks between the U.S. and Iran in Pakistan, Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker publicly called on President Donald Trump to continue strikes against Tehran.
