Trump says US focused on phone negotiations with Iran rather than in Pakistan

“We’re not flying anymore, with 18-hour flights every time we want to see a piece of paper, we’re doing it telephonically, and it’s very nice,” Al Jazeera quoted Trump as telling reporters in his Oval Office.

“We’re not flying anymore, with 18-hour flights every time we want to see a piece of paper, we’re doing it telephonically, and it’s very nice,” Al Jazeera quoted Trump as saying while interacting with reporters at his Oval Office.

“When you have to fly 18 hours every time you want to have a meeting, and you know what the meeting is all about, and you know they’re going to give you a piece of paper that you don’t like before you even leave, it’s ridiculous,” Al Jazeera quoted Trump as saying.
