In a call with Fox News anchor Aishah Hasnie, Trump said Steve Witkoff, a U.S. special envoy, and Jared Kushner, his son-in-law, were “not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”
Trump added that the U.S. has “all the cards” and that Iran “can call us any time they want,” according to Fox News.
Witkoff and Kushner were set to travel to Pakistan’s capital for negotiations on Saturday. Iranian state media reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had left Pakistan earlier that day after discussions with the country’s leaders, who have been mediating talks between Iran and the U.S.

Trump also told Axios on Saturday that the trip to Islamabad was “too long” given the state of talks.
