#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

If it does, I'm gonna have to do harsh things.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

I just don't want this to be a problem for four years.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

We got bigger issues.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

They basically just, again, you notice four years of Trump administration, no Taiwan talk whatsoever.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

It was a non-issue.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Started talking about the trade issues.

They spent a lot of time on North Korea.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

President Trump was trying to get the perspective from President Xi about North Korea because that was, again, considered from Obama the biggest national security issue that we faced at the time.

And they just had a good feeling for each other.

It also helped that my wife and I, we actually had a Chinese nanny and teacher in our house and our kids learned fluent Mandarin.

And our daughter actually opened when President Xi and President Trump were together with Melania and with Madame Peng.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

My daughter actually sang them a couple of Chinese songs.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And I thought that was a nice way to show, you know, we're tough, but we respect your culture.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Because the Chinese have an incredible culture that goes back thousands of years.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

They're very proud in how they do it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And I think that sign of respect also set things off in a very warm way.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

way for President Trump to say, my granddaughter speaks Chinese and we're showing you the respect, which I think is very important.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And he did have respect for them.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

The next part about the visit, I mean, obviously we had a lot of discussions on trade, but the part that was probably most impactful to me was President Xi basically did an hour monologue

At lunch, where he just went through Chinese history from his perspective.
