US President Donald Trump praises Pakistan’s leadership, saying, “I think Pakistan is terrific and the field marshal is fantastic. I think the prime minister of Pakistan is great, and they’d like to see something happen.”
Trump told reporters about the cancellation of his team’s planned visit to Islamabad, saying it was “too much travel, takes too long, and is very expensive.”
“But we’re not going to be travelling 15, 16 hours to have a meeting with people that nobody ever heard of.”
“When they say the meeting’s scheduled for Tuesday, I say ‘Tuesday? That’s a long time from now.’ But when you get down to it, that’s a lot of travelling,” he added.
Trump said he sees no reason to “wait two days, have people travelling for 16, 17 hours”, reiterating that if the Iranians want to talk, they can contact Washington.
.@POTUS: "You probably heard that we canceled the trip. We have all the cards. We’re not going to spend 15hrs in airplanes all the time, going back and forth, to be given a document that was not good enough. So, we’ll deal by telephone, and they can call us any time they want." pic.twitter.com/wZ3Twz4XpY

US President Donald Trump has reiterated that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and that they “offered a lot, but not enough”.
“They gave us a paper that should have been better, and interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it, within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better,” he tells reporters, without going into detail about what Tehran offered.
“They will not have a nuclear weapon. It’s very simple: look, that whole deal is not complicated. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” he adds.
Asked if he will continue the ceasefire, Trump responds, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
