WASHINGTON, April 20 (Reuters) - Vice President JD Vance is still in the United States and has not yet departed for Pakistan, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters, as prospects for a second round of negotiations with Iran remain unclear.
President Donald Trump has said he would send a U.S. delegation to Pakistan for additional talks before a ceasefire is set to expire in the coming days. Iran is considering attending the peace talks, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday, but no decision had been made.
It was unclear if other members of a U.S. delegation were en route or already in Islamabad for talks.
The New York Post earlier reported that Vance, White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were on their way to the talks. The three participated in the first round of talks to end hostilities that began with U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28.
