US EditionTrump is leaning on son-in-law Jared Kushner for difficult diplomacy
Jared Kushner leverages Abraham Accords experience to aid Gaza ceasefire and a 20-point Ukraine peace plan, stepping in due to special envoy's limited government experience.
- 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.
