President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner has been working with Chinese Ambassador Cui Tiankai to plan next week’s meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to a Sunday New York Times report.
Kushner and Cui’s new relationship comes ahead of the meeting at the president’s resort in Palm Beach, Fla., as Trump prepares to meet the leader of a country he repeatedly criticized on the campaign trail. More recently, he tweeted it would “very difficult” to meet with Xi.
The Times reports that Kushner and Cui worked closely together on the logistics of the meeting, with Cui sending Kushner a joint statement for the two governments to issue following their diplomatic dinner on Thursday.
