Paris, France – Former President Donald Trump has announced his selection of Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, to serve as the next US ambassador to France. Trump praised Charles Kushner’s business acumen, philanthropic efforts, and real estate industry experience, highlighting his accomplishments as the Founder & Chairman of Kushner Companies.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump lauded Charles Kushner’s achievements, including being named New Jersey Entrepreneur of the Year and serving on prestigious boards such as NYU. Although previously convicted of federal charges, Charles Kushner was pardoned by Trump in 2020. The pardon followed a highly publicized case led by former US attorney for New Jersey, Chris Christie, who described Kushner’s actions as “loathsome” and “disgusting.”
The controversial past of Charles Kushner includes a revenge plot against his brother-in-law, involving the use of a prostitute and hidden cameras. Despite these past actions, Trump’s decision to appoint him as the US ambassador to France has raised eyebrows and sparked conversation within political circles.
Jared Kushner, Charles’ son and former senior advisor to Trump, has expressed his intention not to serve in the upcoming administration. Instead, Jared Kushner plans to focus on his private equity firm. However, his influence on the administration’s Middle East policies is still widely recognized, according to regional diplomats and Trump allies.
Since leaving Washington, Jared Kushner and his wife, Ivanka Trump, have relocated to Miami, where they have largely distanced themselves from politics. Kushner founded an investment fund, Affinity Partners, with significant backing from Gulf sovereign wealth funds. Despite their move away from the spotlight, the Kushner family continues to exert influence in various sectors, with Jared Kushner’s fingerprints evident in many of Trump’s policy decisions during his first term.
As Trump’s announcement regarding Charles Kushner as the next US ambassador to France continues to garner attention, the Kushner family’s legacy and influence remain subjects of interest and speculation in political circles. Additional information and updates regarding this story may emerge in the coming days, offering further insights into this noteworthy development.
