As tensions rise, Interview with Jared Kushner Posted Wednesday by Podcaster Lex Fridman attract attention. Kushner is the son-in-law of former President Trump, who appointed him as a senior adviser and responsible for Middle East policy.

He added: “I do think the region has huge potential, it’s just being held back by bad policy, bad leadership and bad objectives.”
