President Donald Trump reiterated long travel time as a key reason for canceling special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s scheduled trip to Pakistan for a second round of talks with the Iranians adding that negotiations will be handled over the phone, APA reports citing CNN.
“We’re not going to spend 15 hours in airplanes all the time going back and forth to be giving a document that was not good enough, and so we’ll deal by telephone, and they can call us anytime they want,” Trump said speaking to reporters outside Air Force One in Florida before before traveling back to Washington, DC.
Trump also repeated prior claims suggesting uncertainty about Iran’s leadership which he argued was complicating talks.
