President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he intends to name his son-in-law Jared Kushner as a special peace envoy, unveiling the decision at his "Board of Peace" event, attended by more than a dozen world leaders. Trump touted the efforts of his new organization to stabilize and rebuild Gaza, including pledging a $10 billion U.S. commitment, though the details of what it would be used for are hazy. Trump said Kushner would focus on brokering new diplomatic agreements and praised his previous role in Middle East negotiations, including the Abraham Accords. "Very smart guy. We're making Jared also an envoy of peace. They're both envoys of peace, and I tell you what. I watch these guys, I say, at least we're covered from an IQ standpoint," Trump said of Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who is already a special envoy. |
