Trump and his family have extensive business ties with the UAE. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, took in about $200 million from the UAE’s sovereign wealth fund for his investment firm, Affinity Partners, in 2023. The next year, Kushner’s firm secured $1.5 billion from Abu Dhabi-based firm Lunate and Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund. - TNR

Conflict of interest

Following the April 2026 announcement of a potential currency swap for the UAE, we investigate the ethics of a taxpayer-funded bailout for a regime tied to the administration's 'free' jumbo jet. Should foreign billionaires be rewarded with your tax dollars?

Kushner's main job is as the founder and CEO of Affinity Partners, an investment firm that has raised billions of dollars from foreign governments. Three of the firm’s largest clients are the governments of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Kushner collects tens of millions in management fees annually from these countries. Kushner only works as the chief U.S. foreign policy negotiator in his spare time. - Judd Legum

Logan Act bars private citizens from engaging in negotiations with foreign governments

Kushner is engaged in activities that can only be conducted by government officials. The Logan Act bars private citizens from engaging in negotiations with foreign governments without authorization. Kushner is acting in an authorized capacity, under Trump’s direction, which creates a host of legal issues. As a de facto government official, the millions in fees Kushner is collecting from foreign governments violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. - Judd Legum

TakeAway: Call your MAGA rep: Stop the Trump - Kushner grift.
