Trump says Vance, Witkoff and Kushner talking with intermediaries in Pakistan
- Asked about possibility of Vance being part of an in-person meeting, Trump say, “could be.”
US President Donald Trump said on Monday Vice President JD Vance, US Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were talking with intermediaries in Pakistan.
Asked by a reporter whether he expected JD Vance to continue talks with intermediaries in Pakistan on ending the war with Iran, Trump said the vice president was involved.
“He is, and we have Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner talking,” Trump said, referring to the special envoy and his son-in-law. “They’re all unified and they’re all talking.”
Asked about the possibility of Vance being part of an in-person meeting, Trump said, “could be.”
Iran and the United States had received a plan to end hostilities that could come into effect on Monday and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a source aware of the proposals said earlier on Monday.
A framework to end hostilities has been put together by Pakistan and exchanged with Iran and the US overnight, the source said, outlining a two-tier approach with an immediate ceasefire followed by a comprehensive agreement.
“All elements need to be agreed today,” the source said, adding the initial understanding would be structured as a memorandum of understanding finalised electronically through Pakistan, the sole communication channel in the talks.
