Jared Kushner Reemerges as Key Diplomatic Figure in Trump Administration's Ukraine Peace Efforts
Jared Kushner, son-in-law of President Donald Trump, has returned to a prominent diplomatic role, attempting to mediate peace between Russia and Ukraine. Despite his initial intention to focus on his private equity firm in Miami, Kushner has been actively involved in international diplomacy, following his successful negotiation of a ceasefire in Gaza. Recently, Kushner, alongside White House envoy Steve Witkoff, engaged in discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian officials in Geneva and Florida. The Trump administration's peace plan, which has faced criticism for favoring Russia, has yet to achieve significant breakthroughs. Kushner's involvement has raised questions about his financial interests in the Middle East and his informal advisory role, which he maintains without a formal title or salary.
