White House sending Witkoff, Kushner to Pakistan on Saturday for Iran talks

The Trump administration is sending special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan this weekend for a second round of talks with Iran officials.

Witkoff and Kushner are set to leave Saturday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Friday.

“I can confirm special envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be off to Pakistan again tomorrow morning to engage in talks, direct talks, intermediated by the Pakistanis, who have been incredible friends and mediators throughout this entire process, with representatives from the Iranian delegation,” Leavitt said.

She said the Iranians asked for this round of in-person talks in Islamabad.

“We’re hopeful that it will be a productive conversation and hopefully move the ball forward towards a deal,” she said.
