Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushners China visit was cancelled amid questions over suitability as organisers of presidents triphttp://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2111034/ivanka-trump-and-jared-kushners-china-visit-was?utm_content=buffer429d8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushners trip to China may have been cancelled because some officials in the White House decided the couple were not suitable to make preparations for US President Donald Trumps visit to Beijing.
Douglas Paal, vice-president for studies in the Asia programme at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said John Kelly, the chief of staff of the White House, did not think Kushner would be an appropriate channel even though he helped to establish contacts between China and US officials in the past.
He said the preparation for Trumps visit should be made through appropriate channels, for example, through Chinese state councillor Yang Jiechi.
Channels need to be maintained by responsible and accountable officials, he said.
So much WINNING!

You gonna take that, President Trump? Your chief of staff sounds like he's getting kind of uppity.
I'd like to see Press Secretary Sanders asked about this.
