트럼프 사위 쿠슈너, 민주당 제프리스와 비밀 회동…양쪽서 ‘부적절’ 비판

Former US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner met privately with Democratic congressman Jamaal Jefferson in New York recently, according to sources. The meeting aimed to discuss potential areas of cooperation between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration, particularly on housing, immigration, and high living costs.

However, critics argue that the meeting appeared inappropriate, especially given the ongoing investigations and opposition from the Democratic Party. The New York Times reported that the two met at a private New York space, and Kushner suggested to Jefferson that she meet with White House deputy assistant Sarah Wilhelm. The meeting comes at a time when the Republican Party is facing a disadvantage in the upcoming midterm elections, and a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives is possible.

Jefferson's potential rise to the position of House Speaker is also noted. However, the likelihood of any real compromise between the two parties seems slim. President Trump refused to sign a Democratic-led housing bill and has shown little willingness to work with Democrats on immigration issues.
