Trump Sends Witkoff/Kushner to Islamabad, Issues 'NO MORE MR. NICE GUY' Infrastructure Ultimatum
President Trump announced on April 19 (Day 51) that a US government delegation — including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner — was traveling to Islamabad, Pakistan for negotiations with Iran, expected to arrive Monday evening (April 20) with talks scheduled for Tuesday April 22, the same day the ceasefire expires. Simultaneously, Trump issued the most severe ultimatum of the conflict, posting: 'If they don't make a DEAL, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!' Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned that transiting the Strait of Hormuz poses active safety risks. Trump cited Iranian gunboat fire on merchant vessels as a 'serious violation' of the ceasefire agreement. Trump's approval rating stood at 37%, with 66% of Americans disapproving of his Iran war handling.
