US President Donald Trump has cancelled the American delegation’s trip to Pakistan, putting a nail to the second round of peace talks with Iran. The 79-year-old Republican told Fox News that the 18-hour journey is not worthwhile since the US holds all the cards in the war against the West Asian nation.
“I’ve 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. They can call us anytime they want, but you’re not going to be making any more 18-hour flights to sit around talking about nothing’,” he said.
US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were supposed to head to Islamabad for the second round of discussions.
His remarks came hours after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi met Pakistan’s top leadership, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and left the country.
