Vance says he expects to travel to Switzerland for Iran talks within days

US Vice President JD Vance said that he expects to travel to Switzerland for talks with Iran soon after the initial meetings scheduled for Friday were postponed.

He said that US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, are in already Switzerland for negotiations.

“I expect that I will leave sometime in the next couple of days, but you know it’s always a delicate coordination dance and the diplomatic protocols,” Vance said in an interview with Fox News on Saturday.

Vance added that the talks are going well and that he is confident a ceasefire can be maintained, so he intends to “give negotiations a chance”.
