UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Trump's Poker Game: Iran Talks on Hold. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 25, President Trump just pulled the plug on sending Jared Kushner and Steve Wicoff to Pakistan for Iran peace talks. He told Fox News the U.S. already holds all the cards over Tehan, so it's not worth dispatching envoys when they can just pick up the phone. Earlier this week, the White House announced a trip to hear out Iran's side amid an indefinite ceasefire. But Iran's foreign minister landed in Islamabad, met with Pakistani leaders and bounced without linking up with any Americans. Iran's made it clear they're dodging direct talks, citing distrust from collapse negotiations last year that sparked U.S. and Israeli strikes. Tehran rejects handing over enriched uranium or bending to what they call maximalist U.S. demands. Meanwhile, the ceasefire has halted most fighting, but economic pain is piling up with the straight of poor moves nearly shut down, snarling global oil, gas and fertilizer shipments. Turkey's Mount 2, with thousands dead across Iran, Lebanon, Israel and beyond.
Trump's staying firm, open to Iran's offer but insistent on free-hormous, traffic and uranium curbs. As Pakistan keeps mediating, this high stakes poker game shows no quick fold in sight.
