Trump’s son-in-law Kushner secures controversial Belgrade real estate deal
Serbian government ignores criticism to ink agreement.
After years of secretive negotiations and involvement from Serbia’s political elite, Jared Kushner’s investment firm Affinity Partners has officially secured a 99-year permit to develop a luxury compound in Belgrade.
Kushner is the son-in-law of former U.S. President Donald Trump and was a senior adviser during Trump’s White House run from 2017 to early 2021. The deal has faced outrage in Serbia, centered mostly around the building’s historical significance — in particular, that a U.S. company would be redeveloping the symbol of a Washington-led bombing campaign.
