White House senior adviser Jared Kushner will travel with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to meet with Mexican leaders on Friday, a senior State Department official told reporters.

The official said that Kushner, along with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, will make the trip to Mexico City on Friday to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray and President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

The official called the delegation “a testament to the importance the administration and the United States places on the bilateral relationship.”

“The fact that the State Department, DHS, and Treasury, and the president’s senior adviser Jared Kushner are traveling together shows that this is a whole-of-government approach and underscores the importance of our relationship with Mexico,” the official said.

Kushner, the president's son-in-law, has served as a point person for global affairs in the White House, meeting with foreign leaders and working on policies like a peace plan for the Middle East.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Kushner doesn't havethe security clearance needed to view the government's most sensitive information, which experts said could impede his ability to carry out his White House duties.

The State Department official said the officials will discuss the opioid epidemic, trade, “curb irregular immigration” and ways “to combat transnational criminal organizations” in Mexico.

Seems like an odd combination of people to travel as a group, but Kush has got this.

Kush there to explore family bidness.

Damn, Mnuchin goes on all of these junkets. I guess that anything dealing with tarriffs is Treas?

 

Kush/clearances - I thought his clearance finally went through a while back. Was that just a lower level clearance scam that I missed?

What he does in Mexico is goes down with a FM3 tourist visa, good for 180 days. Then while he's there they have him teach English courses (off the books) and in return they let him take Spanish courses for credit and they house and feed him for free along with a run out to the pyramids. If he wants to tutor some on the side for cash, that's his business.

I think I read yesterday that he doesn't have the highest clearance, so there are documents that he can't read.
