Trump’s son-in-law: business or politics? – level 1
22-09-2026 07:00
Jared Kushner is Donald Trump’s son-in-law. He works as a very important diplomat for the United States. But he also has his own business.
Some people worry about his foreign money and business. But he still has an important job in the government. Kushner talks to leaders in other countries to help stop wars in places like Ukraine. Many leaders like to talk to him because he is part of the president’s family.
But some people say that mixing family, money, and government work can cause problems. Kushner stays very close to the president, so his power is very strong today.
Difficult words: son-in-law (the husband of a person’s daughter), diplomat (an official who represents their country in other countries), foreign (connected to another country).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
Why do some people worry about Kushner having foreign money and his own business while serving as an important U.S. diplomat?
