“They’ve known each other, obviously, a very long time,” explained Haberman. “The president, when he was a real estate developer and man about town in New York City, was a regular feature on the gossip pages of The New York Post, which Murdoch owns. In the years since, Ivanka Trump has become close with Murdoch, as well as his ex-wife Wendy.”

Which means what, exactly? “The president speaks to Murdoch now almost every day,” Haberman continued. “And Murdoch speaks with Jared Kushner as well. Murdoch is one of the people who urges the president to stay focused on the economy narrowly and foreign policy more broadly.”

Cave then asked if Murdoch was specifically advising the president on China and Australia or if he was acting as more of a general advisor. “My sense,” she began, “and again this is a sense — is that he speaks with some specificity on both, but the details are not clear.”
