President Trump ‘s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner reportedly held a number of meetings with China’s ambassador without experts on China in the room, unnerving some current and former U. S. officials.
Kushner met with China’s ambassador to the U. S., Cui Tiankai, as well as Yang Jiechi, the country’s top diplomat, during the transition at his office at 666 Fifth Avenue in New York City, The New Yorker reports. Kushner also reportedly met with Cui in the White House upon joining the administration.
At least some of those meetings were attended by then-national security adviser Michael Flynn, while others Kushner attended alone or with close aides instead of experts on China policy, according to the report.
Meetings held in the past between Cui and the Obama administration were held with multiple experts present on the U. S. side, the magazine noted.
In the months after Trump was sworn in, Kushner met with Cui multiple times after meeting at least three times during the transition period.
