Trump cancels US envoys' trip to Pakistan for Iran ceasefire talks
President Trump called off a planned trip by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, Pakistan, where they were expected to participate in indirect ceasefire negotiations with Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had already left Pakistan before the cancellation, after meeting with Pakistani officials to convey Tehran's negotiating position. Trump cited excessive travel time, Iran's internal divisions, and an inadequate Iranian proposal as reasons, saying Iran could call the US if it wanted to talk.
