US Vice-President JD Vance said Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and envoy Steve Witkoff were already on the ground in Switzerland ahead of planned talks with Iran.

Vance said the pair are “dealing with some of the technical elements of this negotiation”.

“My understanding, talking to Jared and Steve this morning, is things are going well,” Vance said,

Asked if he has any plans to join them them, he says he expects he will leave “sometime in the next couple of days”.
