President Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner personally called the CEO of Lockheed Martin during a meeting with a Saudi delegation earlier this month to ask her to cut the price of a missile defense system, The New York Times reported Thursday. The call was part of Kushner's effort to secure a roughly $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia before Trump's scheduled trip to the kingdom on Friday. During the meeting with the delegation, Kushner determined that cost could prohibit the Saudis from purchasing a THAAD missile defense system, which is designed to shoot down intermediate-range ballistic missiles.

liberals keep busy chasing their pants on fire, but the White House is still working hard
George W. Bush helped the Saudis. So did Obama. So, who is surprised that the one-worlder statist squish Kushner is trying to help them?
I love Melania she’s a beautiful but that’s a no qualification for her position.
I think she and her husband out of the out of the White House, they’re part of the problem.
Actually Jared’s extended family also is part of the problem.
No intent, obviously.....
The Saudis don’t seem to actually use their weapons. Or use them effectively. So....I’m not too worried. More $$ for us.
Melania ?
Now we know that the CEO of Lockheed can not be trusted to work in confidence.
White Tower leak I’d guess. Deep Swamp.
“Come on bro, throw me a bone here!”
I am sure Gaijin’s mind is not working properly due to Free Republic Interruptus. It will take us all a while to get back to normal.
Who leaked this? Drain the Swamp!
Doesn’t matter—we shouldn’t have an ethics-compromised, nepotistic, liberal Democrat carrying the water of the military-industrial complex in such a corporatist/fascist pressuring of the private sector for the purpose of more heavily arming the pro-sharia perpetrators of 9/11.
This was a pro-Jared, plumping up his influence, leak.
I guess it is lack of sleep,only one cure for that.
You can expect more of this given POTUS is getting basically ZERO support from the beltway GOP while under historic political nuclear attacks. “Principled conservatives” included.
If Obama was in office he would have the US pay for the entire system, not the Saudis.
Jared just cut an American company’s profit off a foreign government. Nothing about this deal helps America. He’s part of the swamp.
George W. Bush helped the Saudis. So did Obama. So, who is surprised that the one-worlder statist squish Kushner is trying to help them?
