US President Donald Trump told reporters it “makes no difference to me” whether both sides make a deal. He also warned China that there will be consequences if it aids Iran’s war effort, after CNN reported that Beijing is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Tehran, according to US intelligence.
Vice President JD Vance said that he spoke with President Donald Trump “consistently” during trilateral talks with Iran in Pakistan.
“Obviously, we were talking to the president consistently. I don’t know how many times we talked to him, a half-dozen times, a dozen times over the past 21 hours,” Vance told reporters in Islamabad, CNN reported.
Vance said he also spoke with other top US officials throughout the negotiations, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, and Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command.
“We were constantly in communication with the team because we were negotiating in good faith,” Vance said.
