The Kushner family's financial struggles significantly influenced U.S. foreign policy during the Trump administration. The desperate need for cash led to a situation where diplomatic actions appeared to be driven by the family's personal financial interests rather than national priorities. This dynamic shifted the focus from traditional governance to a more transactional approach resembling investment banking practices.

In his book "Siege: Trump Under Fire," author Michael Wolff highlights how the intertwining of Kushner's debts and foreign relations effectively turned statecraft into a tool for refinancing personal obligations. This alarming trend raises questions about the integrity of political decisions when financial motives overshadow national concerns.
