China' s invitation to Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner underscores the influence they hold in the administration
China has invited President Trump’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump along with her husband and White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner to visit Beijing later this year, according to a White House official.
It’s not clear whether the two would accept the invitation. The trip would be in the fall.
The official commented Tuesday on condition of anonymity because nothing has been formally announced.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman says he noted reports of the invitation but was unaware of the specifics.
The invitation from China underscores the influential roles that Kushner and Ivanka Trump hold in Mr. Trump’s administration, including in matters of foreign policy.
On Tuesday, Mr. Trump offered thanks to Chinese President Xi Jinping on Twitter for the government’s efforts in establishing dialogue with the North Koreans in the wake of the death of U.
