Jared Kushner, who was a senior advisor in Donald Trump's first administration and an influential figure in the West Wing, has stated that he has no intention of returning to public office due to his commitments as an investor and the bad taste left by the Congressional investigation into the events at the Capitol in January 2020.
Despite this, there is talk within the government of Kushner being appointed as the U.S. ambassador to Mexico City, with the aim of improving bilateral relations. This week, the head of government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, has begun to consider whether Trump could return to the presidency.
In conversations about potential appointments in a future Trump administration, it has been mentioned that Kushner could have a relevant role, especially in relations with Mexico. His historical collaboration with the current Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has been highlighted as a key element.
The importance of cultivating strong personal relationships with relevant political figures is emphasized, prioritizing affinity over ideological issues. Kushner's experience and ability to moderate hostile positions are considered valuable in this context, especially given certain aggressive stances within Trump's inner circle.
Kushner's role in renegotiating the USMCA between Trump and former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is remembered as a determining factor in the possibility of his potential appointment as ambassador to Mexico.
