Trump Cancels U.S. Envoy Mission to Pakistan for Iran Peace Talks
U.S. President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a high-level diplomatic mission to Islamabad, where envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were slated to meet Iranian officials. Trump cited the inadequacy of recent Iranian proposals and rejected further travel for negotiations. The decision complicates international efforts to mediate the ongoing war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which has led to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and global economic disruption.
