US EditionJared Kushner quietly advising Trump administration ahead of Middle East trip: CNN
- Jared Kushner has been offering informal guidance to officials in the Trump administration as they prepare for President Trump's Middle East trip in May 2025, which will include visits to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
- Kushner's informal advisory role stems from his central involvement in the Abraham Accords and ongoing efforts to negotiate economic and normalization agreements despite lacking a formal position.
- Kushner has stayed actively engaged with key figures like Steve Witkoff, providing guidance on sensitive negotiations with Saudi leaders amid the challenging dynamics following the Gaza conflict and heightened regional tensions.
- The administration's top priority is securing economic deals with Gulf states to support US initiatives, while expanding the Abraham Accords remains an ambitious but uncertain goal, as Saudi normalization hinges on Palestinian statehood progress.
- While Jared Kushner is not expected to accompany President Trump on the trip, the president will be joined by an extensive group of cabinet secretaries and senior officials, highlighting the administration’s emphasis on in-person diplomacy in the Middle East.
