Trump’s No. 1 deal maker, Jared Kushner, takes winning streak to Wisconsin for 13,000 jobs

Fresh from a whirlwind peace mission through the Middle East, the administration’s top deal maker, Jared Kushner, is heading to Wisconsin with President Trump to celebrate the biggest jobs deal of his young White House career, the groundbreaking of the massive Foxconn Technology Group project.

While Trump will likely be the focus of the event to highlight the $10 billion investment from FoxConn, the Taiwanese manufacturer best known for making Apple’s iPhones, it will also be a crowning moment for Kushner who helped negotiate the deal, his biggest in the U.S. and set to create 13,000 jobs.

It joins a growing list of deals administration officials credit to Trump’s son-in-law: The emergence of a Middle East peace outline.

• Work bringing the 2028 Summer Olympics back to Los Angeles.
• A $110 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia.
• Securing soccer’s World Cup in North America in 2026, with an expected 75 percent of the games being played in the U.S., the rest in Canada and Mexico.
• Bipartisan support for criminal justice reform.

And don’t forget his behind-the-scenes role as the Trump presidential campaign’s CEO.

As with most of the projects he runs, Kushner shunned fanfair around his FoxConn efforts. But his was the operation he runs for Trump, the Office of American Innovation, that helped nail down the job to bring TV and other technology manufacturing to Racine, Wisc.

Officials said that while Kushner hasn’t sought out attention for his deal making, they have been surprised by critics and the media that belittle his efforts or ignore it altogether. “No matter what Jared accomplishes, like with the World Cup or Olympics, he nor the White House get much credit,” said one administration official.

The trip to Wisconsin follows Kushner’s trip to five countries in six days in a bid to rewrite America’s blueprint for peace between Israel and Palestine. He went to Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

During the trip, Kushner broke from practice and granted an interview with a popular Palestine newspaper and in it he criticized Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas willingness to negotiate.

While some criticized Kushner, others said the interview and meetings with other Arab nations may prompt Abbas into action. Legendary Middle East peace negotiator Dennis Ross, for example, told one outlet that if the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan give a positive reaction to Kushner’s emerging peace plan, it would be difficult for Abbas to write it off.

Back home, he is also turning his attention to revamping the government’s digital operations, a “whole of government” approach.

His Office of American Innovation had decided to focus on health records and making them accessible to those who need them.

“Simply put, interoperability is about our shared bottom line: saving lives,” he said in explaining it in Las Vegas in March.
