American leader said earlier that US Vice President will not take part in the Islamabad talks due to security considerations as the Secret Service cannot do it on 24 hours notice

NEW YORK, April 19. /TASS/. US Vice President will travel to Pakistan for talks with Iran, along with special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, CNN journalist Alayna Treene said. 

Trump said earlier that Vance will not take part in the Islamabad talks due to security considerations as the Secret Service cannot "do it on 24 hours notice."
