US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner will not travel to Islamabad for talks with Iran. This follows from the president’s words in an interview with Fox News on April 25. The day before, the White House confirmed the trip of Witkoff and Kushner.
"We have all the cards. They (the Iranians) can call us at any time, but we will no longer waste 18 hours on flights just to meet and talk about nothing," Trump said .
The White House, in response to media inquiries about whether the trip was cancelled, referred to the president's words in an interview with Fox. Trump subsequently confirmed that he had canceled the travel of any American representatives to negotiations with Iran, writing about this on the Truth social social network. He reiterated his view that differences within the Iranian leadership are preventing an agreement from being reached.
The day before, the media reported about the trip of special representatives to Pakistan for the second round of negotiations with Iran, and even a specific date was named - April 27. At the same time, preparations for negotiations were still not confirmed in Iran.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi completed his visit to Islamabad on Saturday. According to him, he outlined to Pakistani mediators the Iranian vision of ending the conflict. As Araghchi noted, it is unclear how serious the US is about diplomacy.
