Trump adviser Kushner traveling to Middle East to brief on economic part of peace plan

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner will travel to at least five Arab countries in late February to brief diplomats on the economic portion of a long-awaited U.S. peace proposal for the Middle East and seek their support, officials said on Thursday.

Kushner, who is the president's influential son-in-law, and Trump's Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, plan stops in Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar on their week-long trip, two senior White House officials said. They may add two other countries to their itinerary. (Reporting By Steve Holland Editing by Susan Thomas)
