You have to look at Carneys Brookfield & the ties to Trump’s son-in-law & 666 5th Ave and the Qatari….before Carney became the Prime Minister of Canada…& how that tangled web leads to Trump & Carney’s slap fest and the gift of Qatar Force One, & Jared Kushner, being one of the two mediators floating around the Middle East on Trump’s behalf. There’s a rabbit hole if you want to crawl down one.

In August 2018, Brookfield Asset Management rescued Jared Kushner’s family skyscraper at
666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan by signing a 99-year lease and paying approximately
$1.1 billion to $1.2 billion in rent upfront. This cash infusion allowed the Kushner Companies to pay off a massive, looming debt burden on the struggling property.
The bailout drew intense scrutiny because the
Qatar Investment Authority (QIA)—Qatar's sovereign wealth fund—was a major investor in Brookfield Property Partners, the fund utilized for the transaction.
Critics and congressional investigators (such as Senator Ron Wyden) raised serious conflict-of-interest and ethics concerns. Just months prior in 2017, Jared Kushner had pushed a foreign policy stance aligned with a Saudi- and UAE-led blockade against Qatar. Reports later surfaced that Kushner’s family had directly pitched Qatari officials for funding to save the tower before the deal was quietly routed through Brookfield.
Brookfield initially maintained that no Qatar-linked entity was behind the deal, a claim challenged by lawmakers and investigative reports pointing to QIA's substantial stake in the financing mechanism.
The financial entanglement between the Kushners, Qatari-backed capital, and subsequent ventures (such as Jared Kushner's later private equity firm, Affinity Partners, which also received significant Qatari backing) has remained a focal point for ethics watchdogs and congressional inquiries.
