“If they ⁠want to talk, they ​can come to us, or ​they can call us. You know, there is a telephone. We have nice, ​secure lines,” Trump said ​in an interview on Fox News’ “The Sunday ‌Briefing.”

Trump ⁠cancelled a trip by his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan on Saturday, ​dealing a ​new ⁠setback to peace prospects after Iranian Foreign Minister ​Abbas Araghchi departed Islamabad ​after ⁠speaking only to Pakistani officials.

Araghchi has since returned to Pakistan ⁠despite ​the absence of ​US counterparts.
