The White House said on Thursday that Vice President JD Vance will not travel to Switzerland on Friday for talks with Iran because plans for the discussion have not been finalized.

During a press briefing on June 18, Vance said technical talks on a long-term deal with Iran were expected to begin this weekend, but that the timing could change depending on when the Iranians are able to attend.
