Trump is leaning on son-in-law Jared Kushner for difficult diplomacy

Jared Kushner leads implementation of a 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan and engages in Russia-Ukraine negotiations, leveraging his Abraham Accords experience, White House officials say.

  • President Donald Trump has turned to Jared Kushner, who recently hosted Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev in Miami amid weeks of shuttle diplomacy over Russia-Ukraine negotiations and Gaza ceasefire talks.
  • This year, Trump asked Jared Kushner, former senior White House adviser, to be available because of his Abraham Accords record and diplomatic skills complementing Steve Witkoff’s style.
  • Kushner agreed to serve as a private citizen adviser, said he will not take a White House salary, and planned to return to his Miami, Florida private equity role; critics cite conflicts from Gulf investments and World Liberty Financial’s $2 billion UAE fund backing.
  • Saturday’s lengthy session with Kirill Dmitriev preceded further talks Sunday, as the 20‑point Gaza plan remains a work in progress coordinated by Jared Kushner and Kushner’s team.
  • Amid that skepticism, some U.S. officials defended Jared Kushner as a trusted adviser and praised his negotiating record, with State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott and White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly offering public support this year.
