Trump says he canceled talks, says Iran 'can call us anytime they want'

US President Donald Trump canceled a trip by two US envoys to Iran war mediator Pakistan on Saturday, dealing a new setback to peace prospects after Iran's foreign minister flew out of Islamabad following talks in the capital. Trump told reporters in Florida that he decided to call off the planned visit by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner because the talks in Islamabad involved too much travel and expense, and Iran's latest peace offer was not good enough for him. Iran’s leadership is in disarray, Trump said, but he will “deal with whoever runs the show.” Trump said Iran had improved an offer to resolve the conflict after he canceled the visit, "but not enough."

00:00You probably heard that we canceled the trip we have all the cards we're not going to spend
00:0415 hours in airplanes all the time going back and forth to be giving a document that was not good
00:11enough and
00:13So we'll deal by telephone and they can call us anytime they want
00:17Again, we have all the cards. They have no military left practically. They have no leaders left. We don't know
00:23who the leaders are
00:24Nobody knows who the lead. I don't think they know who the leaders are very importantly. So
00:28uh you saw that and uh any other question
00:32I think pakistan is terrific. I think the field marshal is fantastic. I think the prime minister of pakistan is
00:39great
00:40And you know they'd like to see something happen
00:43But we're not going to be traveling 15 16 hours to to have a meeting with people that nobody ever
00:49heard of
00:49What changed to make you make that decision too much travel when they say the meeting's scheduled for tuesday. I
00:56said tuesday
00:56That's a long time from now
00:57But when you get right down to it, it's a lot of traveling. No, we don't want to do that
01:01At what point do you send whitkoff and kushner and send vice president vanson what point are you going to
01:06be ready?
01:06Well, we would they're all very competent all three those are three
01:09Good, but they weren't uh meeting with the leader of the country
01:13They were meeting with other people
01:15And I said we're just not going to do it too much traveling takes too long
01:19Too expensive i'm a very cost-conscious person
01:22Mr. President you have to deal with those factors running the show
01:27I'll deal with whoever runs the show they don't know they're in
01:32They are fighting with each other it is tremendous infighting they're probably fighting for leadership in many cases
01:39I think they're fighting not to be the leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders, but
01:44I'll deal with whoever we have to but there's no reason to wait two days
01:48Have people traveling for 16 17 hours
01:52Uh, we're not doing it that way. We'll do it when they want they can call me we have all
01:58the cards
01:58We've won everything we've all the cards
02:00Yesterday you said to reuters that we're dealing with who is in charge now. What changed from yesterday to today?
02:06Nothing. It's just that they gave us a paper that
02:10Should have been better and interestingly immediately when I canceled it within 10 minutes. We got a new paper. That
02:17was much better
02:19We talked about we talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon very simple look that whole deal is
02:26not complicated
