Trump’s Son-in-Law And White House Envoy To Moscow Because Diplomacy Needed More Reality TV
KEY POINTS
- •Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner plan to meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday to discuss a U.S. peace plan for Ukraine.
- •They previously met in Davos last Tuesday with Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who described their discussions as 'constructive.'
- •Ukraine’s President Zelensky is managing winter shortages and currently isn’t planning to attend Davos unless scheduled for a bilateral meeting with Trump.
In a plot twist even daytime soaps would envy, White House envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner – yes, THAT Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law-turned-peace-plan-bearer – are jetting off to Moscow this Thursday to hand-deliver a '20-point' peace plan for Ukraine to Vladimir Putin, whose enthusiasm ranges somewhere between an uninvited wedding DJ and a cat at bath time. Despite Putin's public meh, the Kremlin called their prior Tuesday Davos meeting 'constructive,' which in diplomatic speak means 'we nodded but actually Googled memes.' Meanwhile, Zelensky is stuck in Ukraine managing brutal winter shortages and skipping Davos unless Trump makes a snow angel appearance, proving global geopolitics can still get awkwardly iced out by territorial tariffs and frozen diplomacy.
