Peace Talks With Iran Cancelled

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said on April 25th that

Iran“offered a lot, but not enough” after he canceled a planned trip by

U.S. envoys to Pakistan for talks. Speaking to reporters before

boarding Air Force One for Washington, D.C., Trump said Tehran

quickly offered a new proposal following the cancellation. “They gave

us a paper that should have been better,” Trump said. “And

interestingly, immediately when I canceled it, within ten minutes, we

got a new paper that was much better.” Trump pointed to what he

described as “tremendous infighting” within Iran’s leadership, but

added he is prepared to “deal with whoever runs the show.” “They're

probably fighting for leadership,” Trump said. “In many cases, I think

they're fighting not to be the leader because we knocked out two

levels of leaders. But I'll deal with whoever we have to.” He also

pointed to long travel times as a reason for canceling the trip.

“There's no reason to wait two days — have people traveling for 16,

17 hours — we're not doing it that way,” Trump said. “… When they

want, they can call me. We have all the cards. We've won everything.

We have all the cards.”
