FT: Trump's Son-in-law Working On Ukraine-Russia 'peace Deal'

Jared Kushner returns to the diplomatic arena.

Jared Kushner, son-in-law and unofficial aide to Donald Trump, is returning to the diplomatic arena to push a peace plan for Ukraine, writes Financial Times.

Last Sunday in Geneva, Ukrainian officials witnessed an unusual phenomenon as Kushner, a U.S. delegate, intensely pounded away on a laptop while working on a peace plan for Ukraine.

Kushner, who previously led Trump's diplomatic efforts to normalize Arab relations with Israel and recently worked on an agreement between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, has now joined the effort to end Russia's brutal war in Ukraine. Sources say he is working alongside Trump's special envoy Steve Whitkoff on the initial draft text of the peace agreement, which has raised concerns among European allies because of its possible proximity to Russia's positions.

President Trump has said Whitkoff may visit the Kremlin next week to "finalize" the peace plan, and Kushner is likely to be involved in the process.

"He's a smart guy, and we always invite Jared when we want to make a deal," Trump said.

Although Kushner has long tried to stay out of government affairs since Trump's first term, he has agreed to help Whitkoff by providing advice and support in crafting a peace plan. U.S. officials say his experience in diplomacy and ability to draft documents make him an important negotiator.

Kushner and Whitkoff have previously worked with Russian official Kirill Dmitriev, chairman of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, which has caused alarm in European capitals. Their approach replicates the model of the peace plan that previously worked in Gaza, where a 20-point agreement achieved an unsustainable cease-fire and hostage release.

The former officials note that Trump's approach, where key issues are entrusted to a narrow circle of cronies and family, is replacing formal policy coordination mechanisms.

"There is no formal policy coordination mechanism anymore," said a former U.S. defense official. "It all comes down to politics and personalities."
