Donald Trump’s son-in-law and the person officially chosen as the “peace envoy” for the Middle East is trying to collect $5 billion or more from foreign governments for his private business, Affinity Partners.
The countries that might give him money are the same ones he works with in his U.S. government job—Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
These countries want to invest in his company after his firm, Affinity Partners, announces a big plan to rebuild Gaza.
Affinity Partners has already met with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which is led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a man known for controversial actions.
This fund already gave Kushner $2 billion at the end of Trump’s first term as president.
This earlier deal helped Saudi Arabia gain more influence, and now they want to invest more money as soon as Kushner raises new funds.
This would help get the entire Trump family and, by extension, the United States, more involved with Kushner. The UAE and Qatar, who also invested early, are also ready to give money.
It’s important to remember that Kushner is the official Peace Envoy, who was in Geneva negotiating with Iran’s foreign minister on behalf of the American people.
His job was to prevent a serious regional conflict.
It’s no surprise the talks didn’t result in a nuclear deal, especially since Iran had publicly said a deal was close.
But let’s be honest—Kushner wasn’t there to make a fair deal. He was working for his clients as much as for the United States.
In December 2024, Kushner told a podcast host he would avoid conflicts and “don’t have to raise capital for the next four years.”
Now he’s doing exactly that.
This shows a clear problem: Kushner used his connections from the White House to build strong ties with these governments during Trump’s first term, then got billions from them for his own business.
Now he’s asking for more while holding an official U.S. role negotiating with the same countries.
If it feels wrong to you that Jared Kushner is raising billions from foreign governments while doing a poor job as Trump’s Mideast envoy, like and share to demand answers.
