President Donald Trump on Sunday told ABC News that JD Vance will not be leading the U.S. team for renewed talks to end the Iran war after a dizzy, initial series of reports on the vice president's involvement in the negotiations.

Trump, per a report from ABC's "This Week" host Jonathan Karl, said the U.S. Secret Service "did not feel comfortable" having Vance go to Pakistan on 24 hours notice for such talks. "JD is great," added Trump in his phone call with Karl.

Trump initially neglected to name his veep in an interview with The New York Post where he revealed that the U.S. team consisting of Steve Witkoff, his special envoy to the Middle East, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner would arrive for negotiations in Islamabad on Monday.

The Post reported Vance "will not make the trip."
