White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner has reportedly been sidelined for President Trump’s trip to China in November — the latest indicator that Kushner’s role is being reduced.
Politico reports that Kushner, who once played a lead role as Trump’s chief diplomatic contact for China, will now only be present on the first leg of Trump’s Asia tour — a trip that will last 12 days and includes Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. Instead, other aides and Cabinet officials will play more prominent roles than Kushner.
The outlet reports that some are seeing the diminished role as a sign of White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly’s increasing influence and attempt to formalize a structure — one that avoids giving unnecessary prominence to Trump’s family members (Kushner is also Trump’s son-in-law).
