Trump cancels envoys' trip to Pakistan for Iran talks

The US and Iran were set to hold a second round of talks in Pakistan, with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner heading to Islamabad. But President Donald Trump canceled their trip just as Iranian officials arrived, after Iran made new demands and withdrew from the Pakistan venue.

It's unclear if the talks will be rescheduled or if the cancellation marks a breakdown in the backchannel. The first round of US-Iran talks had taken place earlier, and Pakistan was acting as a host for the negotiations.
