Too much travelling, takes too long, too expensive : Trump

Al Jazeera Al Jazeera — 5min

US President Trump has addressed the media after cancelling the Pakistan trip by his mediators to discuss the situation with Iran.

“I think Pakistan is terrific, I think the field marshal is fantastic, and I think the prime minister is outstanding.

And you know they’d like to see something happen, but we’re not going to be traveling for 15 or 16 hours to have a meeting with people nobody has heard of before,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One in Florida.

“Too much traveling, takes too long, too expensive.

They weren’t meeting with the leader of the country.

They were meeting with other people, and I said we’re just not going to do it.”
