The personal appeal that President Trump said he received from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month leading him to renegotiate NAFTA was only made after Trumps son-in-law and top aide Jared Kushner called Trudeaus office in Ottawa and begged him to talk some sense into the commander-in-chief, a report says.
The unconventional move was revealed Monday by the National Post, who spoke to several government sources familiar with the desperate pleas from Washington.
Torontos Metro newspaper later revealed that Kushner was the government official who made the phone call.

If Donald Trump values the advice of that fruitcake Trudeau over the advice of his leftist son-in-law, then maybe all is not lost. :-P
More really really bad news on the overreach by interfering relatives who are going to cost Trump a 2d term
This has got to stop...this isnt the Jared and Ivanka show.
Let us fervently hope this is fake news. It bodes ill for this presidency if Jared Kushner, someone with questionable judgment, is really running the show. If President Trump appears weak to his supporters, his presidency is doomed.
And who believes this latest MSM trial balloon?
People need to stop blaming Kushner & Ivanka for everything they do not like. Trump is a big boy. The buck stops at the president’s desk, not the daughter or son-in-law’s.
Between pulling him to the left and their steady stream of ethics allegations, Jared and Ivanka will take Trump down if he doesn’t send them back to NYC
Trudeau is a punch drunk pothead
We know he campaigned with pulling out of NAFTA
someone or something changed his mind..OR he never meant it in the first place.
I’ve criticized Trump, but I’ll give him a pass on this if he renegotiates it well. He said that we’ll leave NAFTA or renegotiate it during his campaign.
If President Trump changed his mind then that's on him, nobody else. Unless Ivanka & Jared are engaging in some sort of voodoo hypnotism out of some 1950s sci-fi movie.
Ivanka is his achilles heel.
Let’s see if he gets her in line over this climate change nonsense.
Is it SOP for an assistant to call a foreign leader directly?
Don’t forget that Ivanka went to that play that had all those UN people there thanks to Justin...while her husband went to Tennessee.
Apparently Kushner is too STOOOOOPID to realize that the Canadian press would eventually get wind of this.
If true, very troubling.
Not good.
Normally presidents would take a dim view of subordinates doing this. We will see.
