U.S. Receives New Proposal from Iran Immediately After Canceling Talks—Trump
U.S. cancels Iran talks in Pakistan after Tehran's last-minute proposal shift
U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Washington had received a new offer from Tehran shortly after canceling a trip by an American delegation to Islamabad for negotiations, according to our website, citing NBC News.
The TV channel reported that the White House leader informed journalists of the development at Palm Beach International Airport in Florida.
"Now, you've probably heard that we canceled the trip... We're not going to spend 15 hours flying back and forth for a document that wasn't good enough. We'll handle things over the phone, and they can call us anytime they want," he said.
Trump noted that nothing had changed since the U.S. delegation's planned visit to Pakistan was announced yesterday.
"They just sent us a document that should have been better," he added.
The president emphasized that within ten minutes of his canceling the trip, Washington received a new, significantly improved proposal.
When asked whether he was considering extending the current ceasefire agreement, the U.S. leader replied, "I haven't even thought about it."
"I'll deal with whoever runs the show... but there's no reason to wait two days, have people traveling for 16, 17 hours... When they want, they can call me—we have all the cards," said @POTUS.
"That whole deal is not complicated: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon."
Hours earlier, Trump had posted on Truth Social that he had called off his representatives' trip to Islamabad for talks with the Iranian side. Iranian state media reported that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had left Pakistan after meeting with the country's leadership.
