President Trump has called off sending a US delegation to Pakistan Saturday for peace talks with Iran – canceling a trip he said would be a waste of time and telling a Post reporter in Islamabad to “come home.”

“I’ve told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, ‘Nope, you’re not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards,” Trump told Fox News in a phone call Saturday.

“They can call us anytime they want, but you’re not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing.”

The White House did not respond earlier Saturday to questions about when Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were expected to depart for Islamabad.

The president’s comments came after members of an Iranian delegation who had been meeting independently with top Pakistani officials had already left Islamabad.

Prior to Trump’s cancellation of the US delegation’s planned travel to Pakistan on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was set to return to Islamabad Sunday, Al Arabiya reported, citing Pakistani sources.
