STORY: ::Trump cancels his envoys' trip to Pakistan in blow to hopes for an Iran war breakthrough
::Palm Beach, Florida/April 25, 2026
"You probably heard that we canceled the trip. We have all the cards. We're not going to spend 15 hours in airplanes all the time going back and forth to be given a document that was not good enough. And so we'll deal by telephone, and they can call us anytime they want. Again, we have all the cards. They have no military left, practically. They have no leaders left. We don't know who the leaders are. Nobody knows who the leader -- I don't think they know who the leaders are, very importantly."//
"But they weren't meeting with the leader of the country. They were meeting with other people. And I said, we're just not going to do it. Too much traveling takes too long, too expensive."
President Donald Trump canceled a trip by two U.S. envoys to Iran war mediator Pakistan on Saturday, dealing a new setback to peace prospects after Iran's foreign minister flew out of Islamabad following talks in the capital.
Trump told reporters in Florida that he decided to call off the planned visit by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner because the talks in Islamabad involved too much travel and expense, and Iran's latest peace offer was not good enough for him.
