US Vice President JD Vance’s planned visit to Pakistan has been postponed, according to reports published on April 22, 2026. The trip was intended for participation in a second round of peace talks involving Iran. However, the White House canceled the visit just hours before the ceasefire was set to expire, citing Tehran’s failure to respond to Washington’s negotiation proposal.

The New York Times reported that a US official confirmed the postponement, explaining that Iran did not meet the conditions set by the United States. The second phase of peace discussions had been scheduled to begin on Tuesday. CNN added that despite uncertainty surrounding the Pakistan trip, Vance attended several meetings at the White House on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the same report, Vance had been expected to depart for Islamabad in the morning, but officials convened to discuss next steps, leading to the suspension of his travel plans. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were also seen arriving at the White House shortly afterward.
