Trump says US negotiators will be in Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran

US President Donald Trump says negotiators will head to Pakistan on Monday for talks with Iran, lifting hopes of extending a ceasefire set to expire this week even as Washington and Tehran remain locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.
