White House advisers are heading this week to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. As tensions escalate in the region.
Jared Kushner and a small crew of White House advisers are heading this week to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Jared Kushner will be in Noem, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar this week. It is in line for a continued bid to ease the tensions in the region, per admin officials.
Jared Kushner will be traveling with Adam Boehler of U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, Avi Berkowitz WhiteHouse Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations, and Brian Hook, an ex-State official who’s now an unpaid adviser on Mideast.
Kushner, who’s also Trump’s 39-year-old son-in-law, will first go to Neom, Saudi Arabia, according to two people familiar with the matter.
His visit comes a few weeks after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met there with U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and, according to Israeli media, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
Kushner’s team hopes to make progress on a three-year rift between Qatar and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council over allegations from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates that Qatar supports terrorism.
Jared Corey Kushner is an American investor, real estate developer, and newspaper publisher who is a senior advisor to his father-in-law, Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
