His Serene Highness Prince Albert II received the credentials of the new United States Ambassador to Monaco, Charles Kushner, during a formal ceremony at the Prince’s Palace on October 27th…
A prominent real estate developer and founder of Kushner Companies, the new ambassador is also the father of Jared Kushner, son-in-law and former senior adviser to former US President Donald Trump, underscoring the enduring personal and political connections between Monaco and Washington.
Ambassador Kushner’s arrival comes at a sensitive moment in international relations, as the United States navigates a complex landscape of global tariff negotiations and trade realignments. His appointment is viewed as strategically significant, given his close links to both the business and political spheres in the US.
Monaco and the United States have long maintained strong diplomatic and economic ties, particularly in areas of finance, environmental cooperation, and security. The new ambassador’s background in real estate and investment is expected to further strengthen dialogue on trade, innovation, and sustainable development; all priorities shared by both nations.
The ceremony reaffirmed Monaco’s diplomatic commitment to fostering productive international partnerships while highlighting the Principality’s position as a respected and neutral hub for global engagement.
