The White House says Vice President Vance will travel to Pakistan for talks

On April 19, local time, on April 19, the White House confirmed that US Vice President Vance would travel to Pakistan with US Presidential Special Envoy Witkov and President's son-in-law Kushner to attend the next round of talks on Iran. Previously, US President Trump denied that Vance would attend the latest round of talks. Iranian sources said that if U.S. Vice President Vance did not attend the relevant negotiations, higher-level Iranian officials, such as Iranian Parliament Speaker Kalibaf, would not appear in the negotiation team. According to sources, the U.S. Secret Service does not want Vance to be in the same place as the president at the same time. This consideration is not only for the current trip to the Middle East, where fighting continues and security risks are high, but also applies to domestic trips. If an agreement is finally reached and Trump decides to travel to Pakistan in person, Vance is likely to need to return to the United States first. Responding to conflicting information about the selection of the U.S. delegation, a White House official said: "The situation has changed." (CCTV)
