Jared Kushner made a secret visit to Saudi Arabia last week with other officials from President Donald Trump’s administration for talks on peace in the Middle East.
The president’s son-in-law and senior adviser made what was his third trip to the Gulf kingdom this year alone, Politico reported, citing a White House official.
Kushner traveled commercially on Wednesday and was in the country with Trump’s Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt and deputy national security adviser Dina Powell. It remains unclear whom they met with on their trip.
The link is for a story from last year.
More than a year old.
It makes a hell of a lot more sense to be associated with Saudi Arabia than with Iran like that idiot Obama was. Hell that guy Koshoggi that they killed was a supporter of the Muslim brotherhood so good riddance.
@Trajan61 -- Evidence and sources?
It's a bit more complicated than "good riddance."

Since Trump has become president, my father has advocated (usually while watching Fox News) shooting children/pregnant women at the southern border, Nazi's are misunderstood because some are "good people", hoping an 85 year old woman drops dead (Ruth Ginsburg), rape is ok even if it happened because it was a long time ago and it is also a lie, and that dismembering a man secretly and lying to help those who did it is a good thing because of economic interests in Saudi Arabia. But misuse of email is the worst crime every, until last week when it wasn't a big deal anymore. What has happened to our country?
@greyeyed123 Better to side with a somewhat friendly monarchy or a friendly democracy like Israel than a radical Islamic regime like Iran. It always bothered me a lot when Obama was backing Morsi who wanted to impose Sharia law when he was in control in Egypt.
@powder Israel is the only viable democracy in the Middle East and they are hardly allies with the Saudi’s but both benefit from restraining Iran who is the biggest threat to world peace currently. Hell Iran and they’re radical Islamic republic has been a Middle East trouble maker ever since the fall of the Shah.
@Trajan61 Is "somewhat friendly" how we define 19 Saudi's flying planes into our buildings and the Pentagon? And murdering and dismembering one of our journalists? If Obama had done exactly what Trump has done, you'd be screaming bloody murder, and justifiably so. Now Fox News viewers think Obama gave Iran our tax money. [washingtonpost.com]
@greyeyed123 I know the money Obama gave Iran was theirs but it should never have been given to them anyway as Iran has caused a lot of trouble and deserved to be punished by withholding the money for seizing the US Embassy which was an act of war. The Saudi government didn’t authorize the destruction of the twin towers and the pentagon.
@Trajan61 And I'm sure if 19 Iranians flew planes into our buildings, you would be defending the Iranian government as no authorizing the attack?
