ME News Report, April 14 (UTC+8). In a phone interview on Tuesday, U.S. President Trump said that the United States would not return to Pakistan for any future peace negotiations with Iran. Earlier, the U.S. delegation concluded marathon talks over the weekend but failed to reach an agreement. “Things are happening, but a bit slowly,” he said. “We might choose another location; we already have a backup plan.”

When asked whether Turkey was being considered, Trump said, “No—pick a more central place. Maybe Europe.”

After a brief exchange with reporters, Trump called again to add: “You should stay there—something might happen in the next two days. We’re more inclined to go to Pakistan, because that army commander is doing an excellent job.” He was referring to Pakistan Army commander Asim Munir. During last year’s India-Pakistan war, Trump made contact with Munir, and the war was settled with a peace agreement in just four days under U.S. mediation. “He’s great, so we’re more likely to go back,” Trump said. “Why go to a country that has nothing to do with this?”
