Vance arrives at White House as doubts grow over new Iran talks

0


Vice President JD Vance arrived at the White House shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday as doubts grew about whether he would travel as planned to Pakistan for a second round of peace talks with Iran.

Vance had been expected in Islamabad on Monday, but the timeframe for his trip continued to slip Tuesday — as President Trump threatens to renew bombing after a two-week cease-fire expires Wednesday.

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner also were expected in the Pakistani capital — but with no commitment by Iranian officials to appear instead reportedly are en route from Miami toward Washington.

Trump has since last week blockaded Iranian ports in an attempt to strong-arm Tehran into agreeing to his core demands — topped by ending nuclear enrichment and relinquishing near-weapons-grade uranium.
