Trump son-in-law Kushner has discussed U.S.-Saudi diplomacy with Saudi crown prince

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has discussed U.S.-Saudi diplomatic negotiations involving Israel with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman multiple times since leaving the Trump White House, said a source familiar with the discussions.

The source did not identify when the talks took place and whether they occurred before or after the start of the Gaza conflict. But they included discussions on the process of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, a key diplomatic objective of both the Biden and Trump administrations, the source said.

Kushner, 43, has a close relationship with Saudi Arabia, which congressional investigators say has invested $2 billion in his private equity fund, Affinity Partners, which Kushner set up after leaving the White House.

The news that Kushner and Saudi Arabia’s de-facto leader discussed a peace accord that U.S. President Joe Biden also has tried to broker illustrates the importance both Republicans and Democrats place on the increasingly unstable Middle East amid a razor-close presidential election. The talks also signal how Trump might manage the crisis in the region if voters return him to power – and renew questions about whether Kushner’s financial ties with Riyadh could influence U.S. policy under his father-in-law.

The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.

The Trump regime in exile has been running a foreign policy ratfuck since he lost the election.

THEY ARE CRIMINALS!
