Donald Trump canceled on Saturday the trip by special envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Pakistan, where they would negotiate with Iranian authorities. Iran's Foreign Minister was already in Islamabad and met with Pakistani authorities before leaving the country.

The United States and Iran are currently under a ceasefire after a conflict that led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime route through which about 20% of all globally consumed oil passes. Pakistan has been acting as mediator in negotiations between the two countries to try to resolve issues such as Iran's nuclear program and control of the strait.
