Donald Trump told Fox News correspondent Aisha Hosni that he canceled the trip of his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad because of Iran’s position in the negotiations.
“I told my colleagues a while ago when they were getting ready to take off, ‘No, you’re not going to fly 18 hours to get there. We have all the papers. They can call us at any time, but you’re not going to take an 18-hour flight to sit down and talk about anything anymore.'” quotes Trump Fox News.
Axios journalist Barak Ravid also quotes Trump, who informed him in a phone call that Witkoff and Kushner’s trip had been cancelled. Trump told him: “I don’t see the point in sending them on an 18-hour flight in the current situation. That’s too long. We can do it over the phone, too.”
Asked if that meant a return to war, Trump said: “No, it doesn’t mean that. We haven’t thought about it yet.”
